Providing expert hip and knee care in Warwick

About Mr Andrew Shepherd
Expert in Mako Robotic Assisted surgery
I have performed the most robotic assisted hip and knee replacements at the Warwickshire Nuffield Hospital.
Experienced surgeon
I have over 25 years of surgical experience and thousands of satisfied joint replacement patients on the National Joint Registry. I perform approximately three times more joint replacements than the average surgeon per year.
Low complication rates
My revision rate and mortality figures are lower than the national average.
Orthopaedic Trainer of the Year 2025 in Warwickshire
Voted the best consultant trainer of the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons across all hospitals and specialities in the Warwickshire Deanery.
Recognition by the Dr Foster Guide
Warwick Hospital was named one of the best units in the country for hip replacement surgery.
I was born and bred in the Midlands and have returned to work as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Warwickshire after extensive training in the UK and abroad.
I graduated from Bristol Medical School in 1998 having also spent time studying in Strasbourg at the University of Louis Pasteur and at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. I completed my basic surgical training at Bristol Royal Infirmary including six months working at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, Australia. I worked with the Exeter Hip Team as part of my higher surgical training.
I was awarded the Cutner Travelling Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2008 to undertake a fellowship in complex hip and knee surgery in Canada before returning to Warwick.
My main interests are in the treatment of complex hip and knee problems. I am an expert in minimally invasive surgery and in treating active patients who wish to recover quickly from surgery.

by Stryker Orthopaedics
MAKO robotic-assisted surgery is one of the most advanced developments in modern hip and knee replacement. By using detailed 3D planning and real-time guidance, it helps Mr Shepherd perform your operation with greater accuracy and consistency, designed around your body rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Patients Say
Listen to a shout-out on BBC Radio 2 as Scott Mills gives a special mention to Mr Shepherd. Many thanks to Mark – a grateful patient who had his right hip replaced in late 2025. A great reminder of the life-changing impact of expert care!
