About the Author

Mr Bloomfield was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. He obtained his undergraduate degree at the Godfrey Huggins School of Medicine, University of Zimbabwe in 1983. The Conjoint Board of Examiners, Scotland awarded the qualifications LRCP(Edin); LRCS(Edin); LRCP&S(Glas) the same year.

His post-graduate Orthopaedic qualifications were obtained in South Africa after registrar training in Cape Town and Pretoria.

In 1996, Mr Bloomfield emigrated with his family to the United Kingdom to take up a Consultant post in the NHS at Ashford Hospital (Middlesex). In many ways, this was the wheel turning full circle as his father was born in Woodford, East London.

Ashford Hospital merged with St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey in 1999 and Mr Bloomfield was appointed Clinical Director, Trauma and Orthopaedic services of the combined Trust in 2002. Mr Bloomfield's special interest is Hip surgery but he continues to practise in other areas of Trauma & Orthopaedics as his workload demands.

Mr Bloomfield is married to Susan (nee Warren) and they have two daughters.
