On Wednesday 15th February we're delighted to be welcoming Nicholas Hancock.
Nicholas is an Orthopaedic surgeon at Spire Southampton, specialising in knee surgery and lower limb reconstruction and he discusses how to ensure that aged bodies are looked after whilst cruising. He shows some simple techniques to follow and also some "dos" and "don'ts" to try to keep us upright and effective on board.
Mr Hancock qualified as a doctor from the University of Cape Town in 1998 and after working for 2 years in South Africa he moved to the UK to pursue a career on Orthopaedic Surgery. In his current position as Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the University Hospitals of Southampton, Mr Hancock helps develop the latest surgical techniques and regularly teaches other surgeons in the UK and abroad.
The knee is a complicated joint that relies on the supporting muscles, ligaments and cartilage for is function. The knee is affected by the alignment and biomechanics of the whole musculoskeletal system. It is important to understand the mechanism of injury and disease so the surgeon can ensure a holistic and complete treatment.
The lecture will start at 18:30 prompt, so we recommend you arrive in good time to get a drink from the bar to take to your seat in the Island Room. If you are booked for supper, it will be served in the River Room after the lecture, please sit where you wish.
