Patrick J. McKenna

Consultant Spinal Surgeon

MBBS FRCS (Trauma and Orthopaedics) 

I am a Consultant Spinal Surgeon at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading and Honorary Consultant Spinal Surgeon at Southampton University Hospital. My private practice is based at Dunedin Hospital in Reading.

I qualified from Guy’s Hospital in 1993 and rotated through hospitals in London during my Basic Surgical Training. I completed my Specialist Registrar training in Trauma and Orthopaedics on the Wessex Rotation from 1999 to 2005. As part of that training, I spent a year at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham as a Spinal Fellow. I am fully trained in all aspects of Spinal Surgery including cervical and lumbar degenerative conditions, tumour, trauma and scoliosis. I was awarded the Spine Society of Europe Clinical Award in 2005- an international prize for clinical research. This was awarded for research into lumbar spinal fusion for low back pain.
