Nick Kalson
I am a consultant knee surgeon at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust which hosts the North East Major Revision Centre. My practice is entirely devoted to knee arthroplasty (partial, total and revision) with a particular interest in problematic, painful and stiff total knee replacements.
I undertook his medical training in Manchester, including a PhD in tendon biology, followed by orthopaedic training in Newcastle and Northumbria on the North East Rotation. During this period I was the British Association for Surgery of the Knee Research Fellow (2018-) and worked with BASK's revision knee working group to drive the reorganisation of revision knee surgery in England.
I undertook fellowship training in revision knee surgery in Exeter (2022-23, Prof Andy Toms and Mr Jon Phillips) and Oxford (2023-24, Mr Abtin Alvand and Prof Andy Price) before returning to the North East as a consultant in April 2024.
To complement my clinical work, I continue to collaborate with research scientists in Newcastle University to improve our understanding of the development of stiffness after knee replacement and improve treatment for this challenging patient group.
I was elected to the BASK Executive Committee in September 2024, and as Junior Member I hope to develop BASK's appeal to trainees, fellows and young consultants and increase the number of trainee members through trainee specific sessions at BASK meetings.
