Professional statement

Mr Jonathan Bull is a consultant neurosurgeon and spinal surgeon. He treats a full range of brain and spinal disorders which cause pain and dysfunction in the spine and the limbs with both simple and complex procedures.

He studied neurophysiology and medicine at Cambridge University before qualifying in 2000.

Mr Bull completed initial surgical training at St Mary’s campus, Imperial College, followed by higher surgical training in neurosurgery under the tutelage of Henry Marsh in the south Thames Programme. Alongside this, he achieved a Doctor of Medicine (MD Res) at University College London (UCL) specialising in MRI imaging of paediatric brain tumours.

He then undertook two specialist fellowships in complex spine surgery, initially as the Sir Victor Horsley Complex Spine fellow between the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Queen Square). He was subsequently awarded a European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) fellowship at University Hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2011.
