Post treatment communication

Following treatment of a Bupa member, I will communicate with GPs in line with Department of Health, GMC and appropriate professional bodies guidelines.

In the event of an urgent query following treatment, Bupa members should use the following contact details

Initial contact should be through the hospital where the operation was carried out (if within 48 hours). They will give initial advice and contact me for further advice as appropriate.

If the issue is more than 48 hours after an operation, please contact my office for an urgent appointment.

Other ways of contacting me

I can be contacted directly using Skype. My Skype ID is: shoulderdocuk
