Background
Mr Templeton-Ward attended Nottingham University Medical School and his surgical and orthopaedic training was carried out in London and the south east of England. Following this he carried out 15 months of sub-specialist knee fellowship training, initially under Mr. Neil Bradley, at Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford, where he was trained in partial, total and revision knee replacement surgery. He went on to study further in Sydney, Australia, on the internationally recognised and highly sought-after fellowship with Dr. David Wood, President of the Australian Knee Society.
