Mr Hardy has 27 years of experience as a doctor, surgeon and in particular knee surgery and hand surgery. He is young enough to appreciate and take on the new developments that benefit his patients and old enough to have enjoyed the experience of 21 years of a classical training and career in the NHS in London, Leicester and Bristol.
Mr Hardy consults at the BUPA Cromwell Hospital, London, the Chelsea Outpatient Centre in the Kings Road, London and at the Sport and Orthopaedic Clinic in Bristol.

Please bring with you the following:
It is always useful to bring with you a copy of your GP referral letter and any other correspondence concerning your medical history.
Mr Hardy believes that patients often need more time than they think for an orthopaedic assessment. In 2010 he increased all of his outpatient appointment slots to 30 minutes. If you think you need additional time please would you ask for the last appointment of the day especially If you are coming for a second opinion.
Please bring with you a list of all past and current medication.
It helps Mr Hardy understand the whole of your past medical history if you bring to your appointment past investigations like X-rays, MRI, Blood Test Results and the reports that go with them. Your surgeon may have also provided you with a video of previous surgery in much the same way as Mr Hardy does.
