Your views are very important to us and we would like to hear where you think improvements are needed or where things have gone so well that you would like to share your thanks or gratitude with the staff involved.

There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Trust, from volunteering to attending our public meetings, our Annual General Meeting or our hospital open day which is held every year.
We welcome and value your feedback and use the views you share with us in a number of ways to learn and make improvements as well as sharing best practice. Feedback can be provided in a number of ways.

Jeremy Rushbrook
Consultant
Trauma & orthopaedic surgery
Knee surgery
After graduating from the University of Leeds, Jeremy completed his basic surgical and higher orthopaedic training in the Yorkshire region, before being appointed to a substantive consultant post at Queen Alexandra Hospital in July 2014.
Jeremy has also spent a year on one of the world's most prestigious knee fellowships with Dr Peter Myers in Australia. As the clinical lead for knee surgery at PHU, Jeremy specialises entirely in the treatment of knee conditions and is able to offer a wide variety of treatments including arthroscopic techniques and ligament reconstruction, joint saving surgery, and partial and total knee replacement.
Jeremy strongly believes in maximising the use of non-surgical treatments prior to considering surgery. He utilises tried and tested surgical techniques but likes to introduce new methods when there is good reason or evidence to do so. An example of this would be the use of robotics in knee surgery, which was established as a first in the NHS at QA in 2018.
He also leads the orthopaedic research department at QA and the collaboration with the University of Portsmouth. They run a variety of projects including investigating the use of stem cell treatments in the knee, advances in ACL reconstruction and innovations using technology and artificial intelligence in health care.
When he's not working, Jeremy enjoys spending time with his family, and keeps fit by running, cycling and sailing if there's ever a chance.
The department deals with all types of Orthopaedic conditions as well as fractures and a wide range of traumatic injuries.
