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.
