Professional statement

Mr Matthew Oliver is an accomplished Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon based in East Kent. He specialises in the treatment and management of hip, knee and hand disorders, including hip osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis and meniscus tears. Practising evidence-based medicine, he is an expert when it comes to hip replacement, knee replacement, knee arthroscopy and minor hand surgery procedures. He has a particular interest in Enhanced Recovery Protocols for hip and knee replacements. Alongside his NHS work at East Kent Hospitals, Mr Oliver currently sees patients at One Ashford Hospital and Benenden Hospital.

Mr Oliver qualified from St George’s Hospital Medical School in 1998 and completed his higher surgical training on the prestigious South East Thames Orthopaedic Rotation. He has worked for highly regarded orthopaedic surgeons in Kent and Sussex. During that time, he obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Orthopaedics from the University of Brighton in 2007, before becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2009.

Mr Oliver later travelled to Canada, where he was fortunate to be selected to carry out a year-long adult hip and knee joint reconstruction fellowship at the University of Calgary, working with several leading hip and knee surgeons. During this time, Mr Oliver also obtained a Diploma in Medical Education from the University.

In 2010, upon his return to the UK, Mr Oliver was appointed Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, and has practised in leading teaching and private hospital settings ever since.

Further to his comprehensive surgical practice, Mr Oliver maintains a strong interest in medical education and research. He is a recognised surgical trainer of the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. He has taught on many local, regional and national courses and regularly contributes to peer-reviewed journals and international research meetings.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, keeping fit by walking his dogs and supporting his children with their sporting commitments.
