He privately practises at The Winterbourne Hospital and his NHS base is Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Mr Wek is one of the few surgeons in Dorset skilled in minimally invasive (small-scar) hip replacement surgery, utilising the SPAIRE and Piriformis sparing approaches, which allow for faster recovery and fewer post-operative restrictions.
Mr Wek holds dual fellowship training in complex hip and knee surgery and has completed prestigious fellowships at specialist centres in London, further refining his skills in minimally invasive hip procedures. His calm and innovative problem-solving approach is central to his practice, and he is committed to delivering high-quality care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

He has presented at numerous national and international conferences on hip and knee surgery and has published a chapter on minimally invasive hip replacement surgery in the professional reference book Hip Arthroplasty: Current and Future Directions (2023).
With a solid academic foundation, including a BSc (Hons) in Orthopaedic Sciences from University College London and an MB ChB from the University of Manchester, Mr Wek completed his specialist orthopaedic training in the renowned South-East Thames program. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) and holds memberships in the British Hip Society, British Orthopaedic Association, and World Orthopaedic Concern.
