Ms Caroline Edwards is fellowship trained in paediatric orthopaedics, and her specialist interests are foot and ankle surgery, sports injury, and cerebral palsy.

She completed her basic orthopaedic training in Devon and Cornwall. She undertook a specialist children's orthopaedic fellowship in Southampton and foot and ankle fellowships in Devon. Her cerebral palsy training was at Sydney Children's Hospital, Australia's National Cerebral Palsy Institute. She has well-established links with leading US and Australian surgeons, and has a key role in the British and European Society for Surgery in Cerebral Palsy.

Caroline's practice reflects a busy NHS practice that includes trauma, complex neuromuscular disorders, foot and ankle surgery, and sports surgery. Treatment is usually up to the age of 18 years, with extension to age 25 years for neuromuscular disorders that would benefit from a paediatric environment and approach.

Caroline's ethos is to treat every child and family as individuals, and aim to reach the child's maximum potential with minimal risks.
