Season 4: Episode 4 - Mr John Clegg, Orthopaedic Surgeon. - a podcast by Laura Rutterford

It is an absolute privilege to be able to talk with Mr John Clegg in this episode.

Mr Clegg is an Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in hips, and in particular hip dysplasia. He has produced research with Mr Nicholas Clarke and an incredible team, that has changed the screening programmes for babies in many countries,  resulting in implementing the Graf Method, by Mr Reinhard Graf. 

The statistics for "missed" cases in this research, and the countries that have this universal method of screening, is almost zero.

This research produced results that are incredibly hard to find fault with. In this conversation we discuss some of the reasons that it has unfortunately not been implemented in the UK as a universal screening tool, and why it is SO important to continue to raise awareness.

My hope is that the contents of this conversation will spark emotion, promote discussion, and add to the work of other advocates around the globe. 

Please continue to ask questions, share your experiences, challenge the systems we live in, and speak up for the children that do not yet have their voice. The more awareness is raised, the more information we have to hand, the harder it is to deny these scans for the next generations.
