Mr Thomas Hester

I am a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at King's College Hospital, where I work within the diabetic foot service. My practice is complex foot and ankle reconstruction, with a particular interest in Charcot deformity, diabetic foot infection and minimally invasive techniques.
I am UK Chair of AO Foot & Ankle, an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at King's College London, and lead the King's Foot and Ankle Fellowship. I am a principal investigator on the TiLLI, AFTER and WAX trials.
NHS: King's College Hospital, the PRUH and Orpington Hospital.
Private: King Edward VII's Hospital, The London Clinic, Cromwell Hospital and HCA Healthcare at The Shard.
Memberships: BOFAS, BOA, Orthopaedic Trauma Society.
Who else is involved
The diabetic foot is never one specialist's problem. Before surgery, the plan is agreed with colleagues in each of these fields.
