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.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Hancock for the excellent care and treatment I received. Mr Hancock is an outstanding consultant and a truly professional, caring and highly skilled surgeon. My knee operation went extremely well, and I am absolutely delighted with the result. After living with knee pain for around 20 years, I can finally say that I am pain-free. I am so grateful to Mr Hancock for giving me my quality of life back. From the beginning, he made me feel confident and reassured, and I always felt that I was in very good hands. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. I would highly recommend Mr Hancock to anyone who is considering knee surgery. He is an excellent consultant and a wonderful doctor. Thank you, Mr Hancock, for changing my life for the better!

Mr Hancock is a true professional. He performed excellent work on my knee, carrying out a partial knee replacement, and I have achieved a full recovery within just eight weeks. The scarring has healed very well, and I am now fully up and functioning, with my walking back to normal. Mr Hancock has exceeded all my expectations, and I am extremely pleased with the result. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in choosing Mr Hancock again if my other knee ever requires surgery. In fact, I would insist on having Mr Hancock perform the procedure. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering knee surgery. Barry E.

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.
