Mr Falworth’s practice is solely limited to the management of shoulder and elbow conditions. His expertise in this field was recognised by his appointment as a Consultant Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore in 2006. He brings this experience to his private practice, which is based on the multidisciplinary approach to the surgical and non-surgical treatments of conditions affecting the shoulder and elbow. Patients’ needs, and the use of physiotherapy and interventional radiology techniques, are always considered before surgical solutions are discussed and utilised. All treatments are evidence based and reflect the exacting standards that Mr Falworth adheres to.

Mr Falworth qualified in Medicine from King’s College Hospital, London in 1996. His higher specialist orthopaedic training was undertaken on the St Mary’s Hospital (Northwest Thames) rotation where he gained extensive experience in shoulder and elbow surgery after working with some of the UK’s leading shoulder surgeons. He then undertook more specialist training at the internationally acclaimed Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore under the guidance of Ian Bayley, before he undertook just under two years of further specialist Fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery.

At the RNOH, Mr Falworth provides a comprehensive service covering all aspects of open and arthroscopic shoulder and elbow surgery, including providing a significant revision service to other orthopaedic surgeons throughout the UK. He is widely published in the orthopaedic research literature as well as being the author of several textbook chapters related to shoulder and elbow surgery.

He has pioneered techniques in many aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery, including computer aided surgery, and is a regular invited speaker at both national and international scientific meetings and instructional courses.

Mr Falworth is currently the elected Vice President / President Elect of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS). He previously held the position of Honorary Treasurer between 2017-’22 and was the Clinical Lead for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital’s Shoulder and Elbow Unit from 2012 -’17.

He also has a long list of publications in the orthopaedic literature and is the joint author of four BESS UK Treatment Guidelines; The provision of elbow arthroplasty, The management of peri-prosthetic joint infection, The management of atraumatic shoulder instability, and The management of shoulder pain. In 2018 he was awarded the prestigious BESS Copeland Fellowship, which enabled him to help project the work of the British Elbow and Shoulder Society internationally. This culminated in a three-week lecture tour of India in 2019, and in 2021 Mr Falworth was elected Chairman of the BESS Instructional Course, where he is responsible for coordinating educational content for other Shoulder and Elbow surgeons in the UK.

When not caring for his patients, Mr Falworth spends much of his time with his family. His weekends are spent involved with his local rugby club where he was previously a RFU registered coach. He also enjoys skiing, sailing, photography and, when time allows, attempting to improve his golf handicap.
