Über uns
Mr. Rathnam Sundaram has been a Consultant Trauma, Orthopaedic, and Spine Surgeon in Gloucestershire since 2010, bringing extensive training to his role. He graduated from the University of Leeds Medical School and underwent further training in Liverpool, Nottingham, and Exeter. As the Spinal Lead for Gloucestershire Hospitals, Mr. Sundaram collaborates closely with his 25 Consultant Orthopaedic colleagues, as well as specialists in neurology and oncology, both within the NHS and the private sector. He also maintains strong relationships with General Practitioners throughout Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties, along with other healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths, recognising the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient recovery.
Mr. Sundaram's practice includes both emergency and elective spinal conditions. His emergency work primarily addresses metastatic tumours, spinal fractures, spinal infections, cauda equina syndrome, and progressive cord compression. Elective procedures focus on conditions such as sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, cervical radiculopathy, and myelopathy. His practice data is available on the national PHIN website, and he is recognised by all major health insurance providers.
With over 3000 patient consultations annually, Mr. Sundaram is the most experienced spine surgeon in Gloucestershire. His extensive experience in both NHS and private settings enables him to handle a diverse range of spine pathology, from routine cases to complex emergencies.
In 2015, Mr. Sundaram was appointed Spine Lead at Gloucestershire NHS Foundation Trust. Under his leadership, several significant improvements have been made, including:
Reduced postoperative length of stay
Lowered re-operation rates
Decreased spinal implant costs, saving approximately £400,000 annually for the NHS Trust
Reduction in unnecessary spinal injections
These achievements have earned him three Clinical Excellence Awards, and he has also been shortlisted for the People's Choice Award and Team of the Year Award.
Since November 2016, Mr. Sundaram has been at the forefront of national changes in spinal disorder management, driven by the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) project, NICE, and the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS). These initiatives have led to more effective patient management and a reduction in spinal procedures with limited clinical benefits, aiming to enhance the quality of interventions and patient care.
Mr. Sundaram’s dual practice in both NHS and private settings allows him to offer care to all patients, regardless of their financial situation. Patients who see him privately and whose insurance coverage has expired, or those who self-pay, can seamlessly transition to NHS care under his supervision. His excellent reputation among colleagues and patients reflects his commitment to providing the highest quality of care.
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
