Mr Trevor Lawrence is a distinguished consultant orthopaedic surgeon based in Birmingham, Solihull, West Midlands, UK. He specialises in hip and knee procedures, including hip, knee, and revision hip replacements. Mr Lawrence practices privately at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull alongside his lead consultant work for NHS University Hospitals Birmingham, Solihull (UHB).
Mr Lawrence also specialises in hip and knee pain and arthritis. He treats patients of all ages at his clinics and leads a team of consultants at Spire Park Hospital.
He is responsible for training fellow orthopaedic surgeons and prides himself in low redo rates; it is a quarter of the national average for hip replacements and a third for knees. As part of his work, Mr Lawrence performs complex hip surgery for young patients with dysplasia (malformed hip joints) using the latest joint replacement technology.
Mr Lawrence's qualifications and training reflect his esteemed surgical reputation.
Mr Lawrence graduated from the University of Edinburgh Medical School and trained at the renowned Wrightington Hospital in Wigan and Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Exeter.
Furthermore, he taught anatomy at Kings College Medical School and practised Emergency Medicine at Kings College Hospital in Camberwell. Mr Lawrence also has fellowships from the Royal College of Surgeons and the University of Virginia in the USA.
Mr Lawrence won the Naughton Dunn Award in 2011 and has also been awarded for the quality of care he provides patients through his NHS work. He is a convener for the Exeter hip course and has presented nationally and internationally as a guest speaker on orthopaedic surgery.
When Mr Lawrence is not working, he can be found at Copt Heath Golf Club, trying to perfect his golf swing - often more challenging than hip and knee replacement surgery.
THE TEAM
Dr Steven Parr
An outstanding anaesthetist and very popular with the patients. He is very personable and inspires confidence in everyone he works with. Dr Parr's preferred technique includes a light general anaesthetic and a spinal anaesthetic inserted once the patient is asleep. The spinal injection gives pain relief for 6 hours after the surgery. This combination has over the years proved to be very safe. It is administered without discomfort to the patient. Dr. Parr is extremely experienced and provides excellent aftercare with suitable pain relief and emergency medical cover when required. In the frail patients or those requiring long anaesthetics, we can provide High Dependency Post Operative care as well. When Dr. Parr is not in the operating room, he can be found walking his dog, who has also had some orthopaedic surgery, in and around Hampton in Arden and Barston.

It is not easy to be a good physiotherapist- on the one hand they have to be encouraging, supportive and motivating but on the other hand a degree of firmness is required. The balance at Parkway is very good and the Physiotherapy Department will do their best to restore your mobility after surgery.
