In addition to his NHS work at Kingston Hospital, he privately practises at Nuffield Health Parkside Hospital, OneWelbeck, Cromwell Hospital, and New Victoria Hospital in Kingston, focusing on all foot and ankle disorders, ankle arthroscopy and sports injuries related to the foot and ankle.


Mr Ramesh completed his higher surgical training in orthopaedics within the South East Thames rotation, which included time at the renowned Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals in London. Following this, he undertook a dedicated fellowship in foot and ankle surgery at Preston and Chorley hospitals, and has been on the GMC specialist register for trauma and orthopaedic surgery since 2005.

An advocate for clinical research and education, Mr Ramesh is actively involved in academic development. He has presented his work at several national and international orthopaedic meetings, most recently delivering an invited lecture on midfoot tendon pathology at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) conference. He has also spoken at the Indian Orthopaedic Association Annual Conference.

  • I could not rate the Nuffield Medical Practice team any higher - they made me feel so welcome and cared for with any and all concerns I had (a special thank you to Dr Ed). My only feedback is Dr Ramesh’s bedside manners on peoples HIV status - didn’t make me feel that good on the first time I met him, and knowing that I had moved 2 hours away - had to come in for my 1 month check up, where I saw him for 10min (4 hours of traveling for this). Overall - the team are truly wonderful! Thank you
