Mr Prokopios Annis
Professional statement
Mr Prokopis Annis is an internationally trained consultant spinal surgeon with leading skills and experience. His private clinics are based in Liverpool and Wirral.
Patients seek Mr Annis' help for a variety of spinal needs, such as spine deformities, sciatica, lumbar spinal stenosis and more. He also assists patients with back pain, arm pain and neck pain. Furthermore, his range of expertise encompasses several aspects of spinal treatments. This includes, but is not limited to, minimally invasive spine surgery, lumbar decompression and fusion, spinal injections and complex spinal surgery.
He underwent his medical and surgical studies in Italy before returning to Greece to expand his surgical knowledge and experience. In 2006, he underwent vigorous training in trauma and orthopaedic surgery at Asclepieron Hospital, which is where he found his passion for spinal surgery. He was awarded the opportunity to travel to Salt Lake City in Utah to undergo six months at the spinal department of the University of Utah, which he later returned to in 2011 to further specialise in spinal surgery. After completing an AO Spine North America research and clinical spine fellowship, he relocated to Liverpool.
Mr Annis' career has been dedicated to research as well as patient care. In 2012, Mr Annis' work was recognised by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) and he has published several peer-reviewed articles in internationally recognised scientific journals.
In 2014 he returned to Europe and was appointed as a spinal consultant at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and more recently at The Walton Centre Foundation Trust. Mr Annis practices privately at the Spire Liverpool Hospital and at the Spire Murrayfield Hospital in Birkenhead, Wirral.
