MBBS, FRCS, FRCS (Orth)
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic, Foot and Ankle Surgeon at Spire Gatwick Park Hospital. I trained at Charing Cross Hospital, qualifying in 1982. My orthopaedic training was as a registrar on the Charing Cross Hospital training scheme before going on to St George’s Hospital as a Senior Registrar. I went to Baltimore USA as a Fellowship working at the University of Maryland and at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
On my return from the USA, I was appointed at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath in 1997 as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. My area of interest, apart from trauma, was foot and ankle surgery. Since my appointment as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, I have been involved in training and research.
I am an examiner at the FRCS(Orth) examination, where I chair the oral question standard setting group. I was chair to the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery Society (BOFAS) Education Committee. I am now president-elect of BOFAS. More recently I have teamed up with David Redfern and a French surgeon to develop minimally invasive (MIS) foot surgery. This is an exciting venture and I have been appointed as chair of the BOFAS MIS group to look into and develop this area within the UK.
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mr Stephen Bendall at Spire include:
Orthopaedics

COVID-19 testing or antibody tests are not available as a standalone service at Spire Gatwick Park Hospital.
I enjoy lots of different sports, especially the odd round of golf.
