Training:
Mr Jagernauth qualified in medicine (MBBS) in 2004 from Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Medical School, London. After completing the Royal London Hospital Trauma & Orthopaedic training programme, he was awarded the Royal London Hospital Orthopaedic and Trauma Society Travelling Fellowship Prize and spent a year at the Brisbane Upper Limb and Hand Unit in Australia, training in emergency and elective hand and upper limb surgery, including microsurgery.
On his return to the UK, he completed a further fellowship year at the Liverpool Shoulder and Elbow Unit under the President of the British Elbow & Shoulder Society, gaining extensive experience in computer-guided shoulder replacement and arthroscopic surgery. He also completed a trauma fellowship at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
Teaching and research:
Mr Jagernauth trains the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons and regularly teaches on courses for senior registrars preparing for their FRCS (Tr & Orth) examinations. He was previously the national trainee representative for education for the British Elbow & Shoulder Society and is an examiner and teacher for students at University College London Medical School.
He is regularly invited to present nationally and internationally, has published widely, and has been a reviewer for the Shoulder & Elbow journal. He also acts as an Expert Medical Witness in medicolegal cases involving injury to the upper limb.
Approach to care:
Upper limb conditions can often have a dramatic impact on one’s well-being and Mr Jagernauth takes time to establish the root of the problem. He uses shared decision making to empower patients with the information they need to make informed choices for their care. Many upper limb conditions can be successfully treated without surgery and Mr Jagernauth will discuss these options first before considering surgery.

- I found Mr Jagernauth very easy to talk to. He clearly explained what was involved in the decompression of the carpal tunnel procedure. On the day of the procedure he again went through what would happen and how long it would take. The operation was successful and I was no longer getting the tingling and numbness of my fingers pretty much from the day of the op. The stitching was by good and the scar is healing well.
- Make signs to KIngs Oak Hospital within Chase Farm more obvious or indeed just larger.

- Mr Jagernauth is an outstanding and caring surgeon. He took his time to explain the procedure clearly before my operation and I felt very at ease. My after care follow up appointment was also excellent. I would like to thank him for my successful surgery and highly recommend him
