Professor Keith Willet

He has been in clinical practice as a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford since 1992.
He also held a consultant appointment at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford in post-injury reconstruction surgery and was an Honorary Senior Clinical Lectureship in Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery until 2004 when he was elected as Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery in the University of Oxford.
He co-founded the unique consultant delivered Oxford Trauma Service established in 1993 and his clinical practice is exclusively with the immediate treatment, rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery of patients sustaining musculo-skeletal and soft tissue injuries.
Unlike most orthopaedic surgeons, his practice is dedicated to those patients who have sustained injuries. His practice reflects Oxford’s role as a regional and national referral centre for complex trauma and multiply injured patients; he particularly receives referrals for pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, complex fractures and for the treatment of fracture complications.
Professor Keith Willett was appointed as the first National Clinical Director for Trauma Care on 1 April 2009.
