Mr Alex Magnussen MBBS BSc FRCS(Tr&Orth)

I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon based at London North West University NHS Trust.  In the private sector I practice out of OneWelbeck, Syon Clinic and The Clementine Churchill Hospital.

My subspecialist practice is focused upon treating conditions of the hand, wrist, shoulder and elbow. I pride myself on close communication and teamwork with my patients, sharing decision-making with them to achieve the best possible outcomes. I use non-operative options whenever possible but when surgical intervention is necessary I employ a precision, evidence-based approach, aiming for a standard of excellence with all my results.

I received my medical degree from Imperial College London, qualifying with a Distinction in Clinical Practice. My specialist training was in the North-West Thames Rotation in London.

I have completed several prestigious international fellowships. I was appointed senior international fellow at the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia, an ortho-plastics hand unit, with an additional upper limb and hand fellowship at Maquarie University, Sydney. I have also obtained major and complex trauma upper limb experience at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington.

 

I have an active interest in research with multiple publications and have presented my work nationally and internationally. I hold professional memberships of the British Society of Surgery of the Hand and the British Elbow and Shoulder Society, ensuring I remain up to date with current advances in practice.

 

I actively engage in medical education, lecturing and mentoring Imperial College Medical Students as well as North West Thames Specialist Orthopaedic Registrars. I was extremely honoured in April 2025 to be awarded the prestigious 'Trainer of the Year Award' at the annual regional educational day.

 

I am approachable and reliable, both with my patient and my clinical colleagues and am proud to receive regular feedback supporting this.

North West Thames Deanery
"Trainer of the Year Award" April 2025

"While there may be many deserving nominations, this one will truly stand out. Mr. Magnussen is an exceptional trainer, highly sought after by trainees who try to secure his job at least a year in advance. From day one, he expects trainees to take an active role while operating rather than just assisting. He provides guidance when needed but fosters independence, technical excellence, and confidence in the operating room.

On a personal level, despite my three-year break from training, he had no hesitation in getting me back into surgery, pushing me to perform at the highest standard without excuses from day 1. His teaching is pragmatic, his mentorship invaluable, and his surgical skill exemplary—cool, calm, collected, efficient & excellent.

Several surgeons allow trainees to operate; but far fewer have the confidence and expertise to entrust someone returning from a break with surgical responsibilities from day 1 with no excuses. Mr. Magnussen did so without hesitation.

Without a doubt, he is one of the finest trainers in our rotation. His dedication, humility, and outstanding surgical ability make him a role model truly deserving of this recognition. He is not just a trainer but a leader who inspires others"
