Lennard Funk Shoulder Surgeon Cheshire

Lennard Funk Shoulder Surgeon Cheshire – Expert in Complex Shoulder Injuries

Lennard Funk Shoulder Surgeon Cheshire is a leading name in shoulder care across the UK. I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a focused practice in shoulder surgery. Based at The Wilmslow Hospital as part of The Arm Clinic, I specialise in treating sports-related and soft tissue injuries of the shoulder.

Clinical Focus and Collaborative Practice

Since 2002, I have worked exclusively in shoulder surgery. Over the years, my expertise has evolved to handle complex injuries, second opinions, and revision surgeries. I regularly collaborate with surgeons skilled in trauma and shoulder replacement, ensuring well-rounded care. In addition, I work closely with therapists who specialise in managing elite sports injuries and challenging shoulder conditions.

Patient-Centered and Evidence-Based Approach

My guiding principle is always to act in the patient’s best interest. Surgery is not always the first or only option. Therefore, I often recommend non-surgical treatments when appropriate. Furthermore, I aim to empower patients by providing educational resources through my website, ShoulderDoc. Patients appreciate learning more about their conditions before making informed decisions.

Lennard Funk Shoulder Surgeon Cheshire – Academic and Research Contributions

In parallel with my clinical work, I actively contribute to academic research and education. I have authored several books and over 100 peer-reviewed articles on shoulder surgery and rehabilitation. I also enjoy teaching and regularly lecture undergraduate and postgraduate students in medicine, sports therapy, and sports medicine. Currently, I serve as an Honorary Professor at the University of Salford.

Ethical Practice and Professional Disclosures

Transparency is a key part of my professional values. In compliance with the CMA Order 2014, I disclose my roles and financial interests. I serve as a consultant for Arthrex and Smith & Nephew and hold directorships with The Arm Clinic, Manchester Shoulder Clinic, and ShoulderDoc. I also provide advisory services for HCA UK and am an investment partner of The Wilmslow Hospital.

Important Note for BUPA Patients

Please note that I am not part of the BUPA Open Referral Network. This is due to a specific criterion related to MRI scan frequency, which I have discussed with BUPA. Many of my patients come to me for second opinions, often requiring repeat MRIs due to previous inadequate scans. I am working to resolve this issue and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
