Rhidian Morgan-Jones

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust

Rhidian trained in Cardiff at the University of Wales, College of Medicine as it was then, qualifying in 1989. His training rotation was between Oswestry and Stoke-on-Trent and included fellowships in Johannesburg and Sydney. 

Rhidian has spent his Consultant career working on orthopaedic infection and revision knee replacements in Cardiff. He recently ‘transferred’ across the border to work in Colchester and help establish the Regional Revision Knee Network. 

Rhidian has a strong interest in education at all levels and continues to lecture widely. He has had the pleasure of founding and running national knee infection meetings from which he continues to learn from his peers. A personal philosophy, when possible, has always been to organise cross-speciality meetings, which broadens one’s perspective and heightens respect for colleagues in other medical and non-medical areas. This led to being a co-founder of the Bone & Joint Infection Society (BAJIS) and the inaugural President. BAJIS is a true cross-speciality society for all healthcare workers, scientists and industry partners interested in managing orthopaedic infection. 

Now living in Essex, he remains as Welsh as ever but perhaps a little less partisan than before. Professionally and personally, although life continually changes, he could not be happier than at present. 

Rhidian is delighted to be elected as Honorary Treasurer and hopes to contribute and support our Association and the profession in any way he can.
