About

Simon Chillingworth is a leading anaesthetist whose research focuses on optimising regional anaesthesia and perioperative pain management for major orthopaedic surgery, particularly knee arthroplasty. His work addresses the critical link between effective analgesia, early mobilisation, and improved surgical outcomes, including the reduction of chronic post-surgical pain. Chillingworth’s highly cited survey, "Regional anaesthesia for knee arthroplasty in the UK: survey of practice," provides a comprehensive snapshot of national trends, highlighting the growing adoption of peri-articular local infiltration anaesthesia—a technique he has championed for its efficacy and alignment with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommendations. This influential study, already garnering attention in the field, demonstrates his commitment to evidence-based practice that directly shapes clinical guidelines and patient recovery pathways. Through his research, Chillingworth continues to drive advancements in anaesthetic techniques that enhance functional recovery and quality of life for thousands of surgical patients.
