Mr Robert Hill is the Medical Director at The Portland Hospital for Women and Children. He has extensive experience in non-spinal paediatric orthopaedics and in limb reconstruction in both adults and children. He undertook his initial training in orthopaedics at St Thomas’ Hospital and subsequently on the Percivall Pott training programme. His work on paediatric orthopaedics and limb reconstruction, including non-union and malunion problems in adults and children, has been published widely.

Mr Hill has a national and international reputation and has lectured both in the UK and abroad. He was made Honorary Associate Professor at University College London (UCL) in 2021 and has worked in a mentorship and training role at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children since 2020. Mr Hill was made an Honorary Member of the Hungarian Orthopaedic Association in 2014. He was invited to be an International Visiting Professor at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Australia in 2012 and at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the US in 2003.

His private practice is based at the Portland Hospital and whilst this has now been taken over by Mr Jonathan Wright and Miss Sarah McMahon, Mr Hill continues in a consultative role to provide a seamless transfer of existing patients and advice on rare or difficult conditions.

It is important that HCA is transparent about our relationship with those doctors who provide us with clinical guidance on delivering the best possible care to patients and operating our hospitals safely and efficiently. We set out here some of the ways in which we work together and the amount we pay this doctor for such services.
