Mr Peter Ralte

I specialise in general orthopaedic surgery with specific interest in hip and knee arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery) as well as general lower limb trauma. My NHS practice is based at the Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WUTH) and I see both private and NHS patients at Spire Murrayfield on the Wirral.

In addition to my clinical work, I am heavily engaged in the education and training of medical students and junior doctors. I am a Clinical Supervisor to third year medical students from the University of Liverpool and am also an examiner for their Assessments for Progression. I am a Clinical and Educational Supervisor to junior doctors (FY1, FY2, Core Surgical Trainees and Specialist Registrar's) during their orthopaedic placement at WUTH. I am the current Specialty Trainee Committee (STC) representative for WUTH, representing our Trust and Orthopaedic Trainees at the Mersey Deanery. I am the past President of the Mersey Orthopaedic Training Association (58 Society).

I was assigned my National Training Number and was appointed to the Mersey Deanery Orthopaedic Rotation in August of 2012. Upon successful completion of my Rotational Training Programme and passing of my Fellowship exams with the Royal College of Surgeons (Edin) I was awarded my Certificate of Completion of Surgical Training in Trauma & Orthopaedics and was accepted onto the Specialist Register with the General Medical Council (GMC). During my training I obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Orthopaedic Engineering from the University of Cardiff. I then completed Fellowship Training in Trauma at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital for 12 months, followed by a further 12 month Fellowship in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty (replacement) at Wrightington Hospital. I was appointed as a Consultant at the Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WUTH) in August 2019 where I continue to work. I was granted practicing privileges at Spire Murrayfield, Wirral in January 2022.
