MA, MBBS, FRCS (Tr & Ortho) | GMC Number: C4212432
Specialist Shoulder Surgeon Gavin Jennings is an Orthopaedic Consultant who practises at Sulis Hospital Bath. He specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of shoulder problems.
Mr Jennings has a particular interest in performing advanced arthroscopic (keyhole) procedures to treat conditions ranging from instability to tendon damage. He recognises the advantages of minimally invasive techniques over the more traditional open approach.
He studied at St John's College, Cambridge and St Mary's Hospital, London before undertaking his orthopaedic and sub-specialist training in London.
