Mr Stephen Veitch

I qualified in Medicine in 1996 (University of Sheffield). Having successfully completed basic surgical training in Sheffield, I was awarded the Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2000. I was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine from Sheffield University in 2005 following two years of research for my thesis on changes in bone metabolism following tibial fracture. I successfully completed Higher Surgical Specialist Registrar training on the South West Peninsula Scheme which included working in Exeter, Plymouth and Truro. I was awarded the Fellowship in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2007. I undertook a six month fellowship at Llandough Hospital, Cardiff specialising in complex hip replacement and revision surgery, and a twelve month fellowship in hip and knee surgery at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. I have visited centres of excellence in Chicago, USA and Trondheim, Norway. I was appointed as a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Salisbury District Hospital in 2010. I am a fellow of the British Orthopaedic Association and Royal College of Surgeons of England and member of the British Hip Society and British Association for Surgery of the Knee. I have full registration with the General Medical Council and on the specialist register.
