YOUR SPECIALIST
Meet Mr Matthew Barrett, Shoulder & Elbow Specialist
Matthew graduated from Cardiff Medical School, going on to complete his higher orthopaedic surgical training in the Wessex region. He completed specialist fellowships in Shoulder & Elbow surgery, working with and learning from experienced surgeons in Bournemouth and then Auckland, New Zealand.
Matthew works as an NHS Orthopaedic Consultant at Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester, where he specialises in Shoulder, elbow and trauma surgery. He is enthusiastic about teaching and is actively involved with research.
Outside of work he enjoys running, kitesurfing and sea swimming so he understands the importance of getting back to doing the things you love most.

I also live in Poole and enjoy the coastal lifestyle that Dorset has to offer - similarly to many of my patients!

Matt Barrett was the surgeon who successfully operated on my badly broken clavicle/ collar bone. He first met me in A&E and quickly assured me I was in safe hands. I was due to attend the windsurfing world championships only seven weeks away so any repairs needed to be carried out as soon as possible and with the best possible long term strength. Sure enough I had perfect service and surgery at Dorchester Hospital, was able to windsurf again within six weeks (not on Matt's advice…) and competed in the World Championships and became Grandmaster World Champion.
Massive thanks to Matt and his team for all their help and what we achieved.
