About Mr Simon Cockshott

Mr Simon Cockshott qualified from the University of Manchester in 1999 and subsequently completed his general orthopaedic training in the West Midlands, with valuable experience at the renowned Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Major Trauma Centre. He then undertook further specialty training at the prestigious Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry, followed by fellowship training in Derby. In 2014, he was appointed as a lower limb surgeon in Derby.

Specialising in knee and hip surgery, Mr Cockshott’s areas of expertise include knee arthroscopy, partial and revision knee replacements, and primary hip replacements. His extensive surgical experience is complemented by his unique background in pharmacy; prior to his medical training, he qualified as a pharmacist and worked in both the pharmaceutical industry and clinical settings. This additional expertise enhances his approach to patient care by providing a more comprehensive understanding of pharmacology in surgical and rehabilitation contexts.

Mr Cockshott is committed to delivering the highest standard of care, combining advanced surgical techniques with a deep knowledge of medication management. His dedication to continuous professional development and his well-rounded background ensure that his patients receive safe, effective, and personalised treatment for their orthopaedic conditions.

I was very pleased to be offered this appointment after 5 years of surgery as I still had a few issues with my right knee and had fallen badly on it twice in the last year so being given x-rays was particularly satisfying to know that both knees were ok
