About

Mr Chris Derham is a full-time Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, a position he has held since 2014. After completing his medical degree at the Royal Free Hospital, London, he undertook neurosurgical training across the Yorkshire region and achieved a Doctorate of Medicine with distinction from the University of Leeds, focusing on tissue regeneration.

Mr Derham has completed the prestigious National Spine Fellowship in England and the EANS Neurosurgical Fellowship in Innsbruck, Austria. He practices all aspects of neurosurgery with a subspecialty interest in complex spinal surgery, including intradural tumour surgery, cranio-cervical junction surgery, and minimally invasive spine procedures.

A strong advocate for patient safety and high-quality care, Mr Derham has contributed to national quality improvement initiatives in spinal services (GIRFT/SBNS). He is committed to advancing surgical techniques as well as teaching and mentoring neurosurgical trainees and consultants in the UK and internationally.

Mr Derham offers a wide range of treatments, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, spinal decompression, minimally invasive spinal surgery, vertebroplasty, spinal fusion, nerve surgery, and trauma surgery.

Outside of medicine, he is a keen sports and outdoors enthusiast with a passion for the mountains and the sea. He speaks English, Slovenian, and German.

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