Award-winning leaders in orthopaedic surgery
World-leading expertise
With bases at The Princess Grace Hospital, The Wellington Hospital Elstree Waterfront, and the Outpatients and Diagnostic Centre at 30 Devonshire Street, all part of HCA Healthcare UK, The Stanmore Foot and Ankle Specialists group (SFAS) brings together the expertise of four world-leading consultant surgeons.
Our NHS practice is at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, consistently rated as the top orthopaedic centre in the UK, and one of the top 10 specialist orthopaedic hospitals in the world.
With vast experience in both complex and everyday foot and ankle problems, we understand the impact that these conditions can have on patients' lives.
We’re here to help with every step of your journey – from diagnosis, through treatment, to rehabilitation and a return to normal life.
Advice and treatment you can trust
At Stanmore Foot and Ankle Specialists, we believe in multi-disciplinary working and an evidence-based approach to clinical practice.
What that means for you is an honest opinion and a full range of proven treatment options. It’s not about what we can do, it’s about what you need, so we’ll often offer treatments and advice to help you avoid surgery.
It’s all part of our plan to give you the best possible care we can. It’s why we work closely with experts in the fields of radiology, physiotherapy, orthotics and podiatry. It’s also why we have regular team meetings to focus on our patients and discuss the more complex cases in detail.
It’s how we offer advice and treatment we know you can trust.

Everything you need
As well as state-of-the-art treatment, our comprehensive service also includes imaging and blood work.
So, if you need blood tests, X-rays or an MRI scan, we offer all at both our Princess Grace and Elstree Waterfront sites. All you need to do is choose which works best for you. And if you need access to a cutting-edge weight-bearing CT scan, we can organize that as well.
Plus, to keep things simple and save you time, we can change plaster casts and provide boots and braces should your treatment require them. And this is all in addition to our existing links with expert physiotherapists (either on-site, or local to you), orthotists, podiatrists and sports medicine specialists.
