About

Mr Neil Pennington is a Shoulder Specialist who graduated with honours, in 2004 from the University of Leeds and subsequently completed all of his surgical training in Yorkshire. In 2013 he was appointed as the sole Fellow on the highly regarded Coventry Shoulder Fellowship with Steve Drew and Tom Lawrence. This gave him a unique experience of a high volume of operating in the whole spectrum of shoulder surgery.

He further enhanced his experience by being awarded the British Elbow & Shoulder Society Mayo Fellowship in 2015; affording him the opportunity to visit and spend time at the Mayo clinic in 2016.

He was appointed as a Consultant Shoulder Surgeon in 2015; his NHS practice is based in Huddersfield & Halifax and his private practice is in Leeds, Huddersfield and Elland.

He has a special interest in total shoulder arthroplasty and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and reconstructive surgery. He firmly believes in a patient centred approach, and to tailoring your care towards the goals and outcomes that matter most to you.

Mr Pennington was polite and professional and I felt at ease when describing symptoms to him, I did not feel rushed or intimidated and was able to fully express myself. Mr Pennington suggested a venue closer to my home for the treatment which I found was a very kind touch and seemed to genuinely care about my condition.

I was so relieved to see somebody who listened to me and was empathetic. It made so much difference to me. I do suffer with diagnosed with depression which I keep at bay. The NHS lack of service of the NHS has pushed me. Thank you
