Past Chair

Marcus chaired the User Group from its inception in 2012 until 2017. Marcus was an early adopter of the NAHR as he found it an empowering method to monitor the outcomes not only of individual patients but also of his whole non-arthoplasty practice. He recognised the advantages of the whole of his practice being included either on the National Joint Registry or NAHR. He remains an enthusiastic supporter of orthopaedic registries and routine data collection; his advocacy helped overcome surgeons’ reservations about submitting their data to the NAHR. Marcus was responsible for simplifying the data collection process (use of EQ5-D and iHOT-12 only) and ensuring that the data collection form resembled the NJR facilitating use of existing hospital NJR infrastructure. He was also involved in the project by the British Orthopaedic Association to integrate the non-arthroplasty registries from other orthopaedic specialties (TORUS). He was also the first to use NAHR data for a published scientific article.
