Professional statement

Mr William Bartlett is an experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon located in central London. His specialist interest is in robotic surgery and the surgical and non-operative management of hip complaints. 


Mr Bartlett trained in and around the capital and undertook his fellowship at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. During this time, and following visitations to centres of excellence in central Europe and North America, he developed his interest in hip and knee replacement surgery, together with joint preserving techniques.


He sees a diverse spectrum of patients, ranging from teenagers to nonagenarians, with lifestyles ranging from sedentary to former Olympians. Non-surgical treatment options will always be thoroughly explored initially, often through working closely with physiotherapists, osteopaths, radiologists, sports physicians and rheumatologists.


When surgery is needed, Mr Bartlett will offer each patient a highly personalised approach, ensuring that they remain firmly at the centre of the decision-making. As many of his patients are young and active, his practice has evolved to use modern bone preserving techniques and minimally invasive surgical approaches. Particular interests include the use of 3D computer planned surgery, custom-made prostheses and partial joint replacement surgery.


Mr Bartlett leads the enhanced recovery program within his NHS hospital and is committed to ensuring that each patient recovers from surgery as quickly, safely and fully as possible. He has performed over 2,000 hip procedures and is currently conducting research into the performance of newly introduced hip replacement prostheses.

  • Everyone @ The Princess Grace was friendly, welcoming & very helpful. The X-ray technician was also very friendly & professional & kind. My consultant Mr. Bartlett was friendly, welcoming & he gave me a lot of his time & explained everything fully to me & has sent me the report he had forwarded to my NHS GP. I was also phoned today by one of the registrars to clarify one point. The surroundings were modern, clean & reassuringly modern. Nurse Harriet Flynn was with me throughout the consultation

  • Very satisfied with all the staff at both Princess Grace Hospital and the Hip Unit and would happily return if any further procedures required. My only complaint would be that codes are required for everything including this response - just so irritating.

  • This was my first operation and I was extremely anxious about it, seeking the opinions from 3 different surgeons. Could not be more delighted with my choice of Mr Bartlett for my hip replacement. He and his team have shown great kindness, empathy and knowledge and made the experience, for a nervous patient such as myself, as easy as possible.

  • I cannot thank Mr William Bartlett enough for the exceptional care he provided throughout my hip replacement journey. From my first consultation, he was kind, patient, and reassuring, explaining everything clearly. My surgery was a great success, and the care I received before, during, and after was outstanding. I am so grateful to Mr Bartlett and his wonderful team and would highly recommend him to anyone considering hip surgery.

  • My hip review following 2 THL 8 and 4 years later with Mr Bartlett was perfect. His manner, his listening skills and explaining and our discussion was unhurried and left me completely satisfied and reassured my hip parts were still intact and safe. Always has a friendly manner
