We are proud to treat many of Team GB's Olympic athletes and will be supporting them both in the lead up and during the London 2012 Olympics.Many of our orthopaedic surgeons regularly treat elite sportsmen including the London Foot and Ankle Centre and the Shoulder Unit.  They are not listed in this section as this only contains details of those with Sport Physician qualifications.
