Professor Field completed his medical training at the Westminster Hospital in 1980 and went on to hold positions at a number of hospitals across London, including St Stephen’s Hospital, University College Hospital, and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.

He was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at St Helier Hospital, Surrey in 1994.
Over the past 25 years, he has gained enormous experience in complex sports and developmental-related hip problems and is a world leader in hip preservation and rapid recovery hip replacement surgery. He continues to undertake over 200 hip operations per year. He has previously been an adviser to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.
