About Mr David Sweetnam
Mr Sweetnam qualified as a doctor in 1987 from Middlesex Hospital Medical School, University College London. He completed orthopaedic training at The Royal United Hospital in Bath and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Registrar Training Scheme, gaining his specialist qualification in 1995. He undertook a fellowship in Australia focused on joint replacements and sports injuries, then became an Orthopaedic Consultant at Whittington Hospital in 1998, where he continues practicing general orthopaedic surgery. He has over thirty years NHS experience, including twenty years as a Senior Consultant and ten years as Clinical Lead. Despite expertise in innovative techniques and cartilage cell research, he strongly advocates a non-surgical approach to knee conditions where possible. He maintains an internationally recognized private practice treating high-profile clients and elite athletes, chairs medical education initiatives, serves as an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons, and is Chairman of The Newman Foundation medical charity.
