Mr Niall Sullivan

Mr Sullivan gained broad experience in Orthopaedic and Trauma surgery while completing his training in Bristol. He then completed a year of advanced arthroplasty training in Auckland, NZ, refining his hip replacement skills while learning new computer navigation and MAKO robot techniques for knee replacement surgery. He returned to Bristol for a fellowship in advanced hip arthroplasty and pelvic surgery before completing a final fellowship in Major Trauma at Southmead. Mr Sullivan has received awards for his research during his training, and he continues to work with University of Bristol researchers to produce high-quality stem cell research and studies on prosthetic joint infection. He is also an active member of the British Hip Society. As someone who has undergone hip surgery himself, Mr Sullivan can empathise with his patients suffering from hip pathology. He understands the impact of hip problems on patients' day-to-day lives and is committed to helping them through their treatment journey with his expertise and compassion. Mr Sullivan lives with his wife and son in Bristol. He enjoys running and sports in general as well as spending time in the garden.

Mr Sullivan has specialist experience in the management of hip arthritis and complex hip pathologies such as avascular necrosis, metastatic cancer, post-traumatic and developmental disorders requiring hip replacements. He is a revision hip surgeon specialising in the management of infected hip replacements. Mr Sullivan is the hip fracture lead at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Orthopaedic lead for Silver Trauma. He is one of four surgeons running the regional centre for prosthetic hip joint infection at Southmead Hospital.
