Mr Jonathan Perera

Mr Jonathan Perera is a well experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Oncology Surgeon at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital with over 15 years of experience. He completed his medical degree at University College London in 2005, followed by his higher surgical orthopaedic training at the prestigious Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. Mr Perera completed his research doctorate in Orthopaedics and was awarded his DipOrth by University College London in 2017. He also completed a BOOS Diploma in Orthopaedic Oncology recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2022 and is a Fellow in Trauma and Orthopaedics of the Royal College of Surgeons. With a medical career spanning over 15 years, predominantly in the field of surgery, Mr Perera has garnered extensive experience. Since 2011, he has been actively involved in various surgical domains, primarily orthopaedics, but also including vascular surgery, plastic surgery and general surgery (including upper GI, colorectal, HPB and endocrine surgery). Throughout this period, he actively participated in multiple multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) dedicated to cancer care. Among his many achievements, Mr Perera takes great pride in being the primary researcher and second author of ‘Getting it Right First Time’. This ground-breaking work has not only revolutionised orthopaedic care across the UK but has also had a profound impact on numerous surgical and non-surgical specialties, both domestically and internationally. Mr Perera's ultimate mission for cancer care on a global scale is to foster more collaborative research projects between different medical units. He recognises that identifying the right experts for specific aspects of cancer care can sometimes present significant challenges. To address this, he envisions streamlining the care process through effective networks and groups of clinicians, thereby greatly enhancing the patient experience and, hopefully, leading to reduced morbidity and mortality associated with this complex disease.

"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
