We are delighted to welcome Mr Lee Parker, a leading Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and sub-specialty lead for Foot and Ankle Surgery at OneWelbeck Orthopaedics, to First Contact Health from 21st and 22nd February.

Mr Parker is a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon whose sole practice is treating foot and ankle disorders.

About Mr Lee Parker

Lee was an NHS consultant for nine years at The Royal London Hospital before dedicating himself to private practice where his focus is on the delivery of first class patient care. He is one of the founding partners of One Welbeck Orthopaedics where he is the Medical Director for Orthopaedic Surgery.

Mr Parker trained on the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) Stanmore rotation and undertook advanced fellowship training in foot and ankle surgery in Bristol where he focused on learning keyhole and ankle replacement surgery. He was a European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) travelling fellow in 2014 and undertook a trauma fellowship in Graz, Austria before taking-up his Consultant post.

His Consultant position at one of London’s four major trauma centres enabled him to gain extensive experience in treating and reconstructing the severely injured foot and ankle. There he introduced a British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (BOFAS)-accredited fellowship training programme for foot and ankle surgery. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and regularly attends conferences and courses to maintain a well-informed, current clinical practice.

Mr Parker enjoys working and collaborating with colleagues. He works within a multi-disciplinary team, often finding non-surgical solutions to painful foot and ankle problems.
