About Mr Nicholas Hancock

Mr Nicholas Hancock qualified in medicine in 1998 and spent the early part of his career working in renowned major trauma centres at Groote Schuur and Tygerberg Hospitals in South Africa, where he gained extensive experience managing complex orthopaedic injuries. After returning to the UK, he further developed his specialist interest in orthopaedic surgery by training with leading international experts across the country.

He has been in continuous NHS employment since 2000 and completed his higher orthopaedic surgical training rotation in the South of England. In October 2010, Mr Hancock was appointed to a consultant post at Southampton University Hospital NHS Trust.

In the same year, he was awarded a prestigious one-year fellowship in Sydney, Australia, where he conducted research into bone graft substitutes and artificial ligaments with the University of New South Wales. During this fellowship, he also developed advanced expertise in modern hip and knee surgery techniques while working at Concord Repatriation General Hospital, University of Sydney.

He has been director of the Orthopaedic Department in Southampton for 5 years and works with the University and Deanery. He has been awarded Orthopaedic Trainer of the Year more than once and regularly publishes book chapters and papers in peer reviewed journals.

Mr Hancock is focused on excellent patient outcomes and advancing the field of Knee Surgery.

Mr Hancock is by far the best knee consultant and surgeon I have had. Very professional yet approachable, clear explanations and most importantly, my knee surgery was more than successful and now better than before it was injured.

Mr Hancock did my knee surgery, ACL reconstruction. He is very talanted surgeon and kind doctor. All the team was great. He explained to me everything in details and was very patient. I also had follow up with him after 6 weeks and I can walk freely now without assistance.
