Martin Middleton qualified through the internationally recognised NCTEPO department of Strathclyde University, Glasgow in 2003 with a BSc (Hons) in Prosthetics and Orthotics. A full-time post at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, London was taken up following professional certification and this post was held until 2016. The RNOH is a national centre of excellence benefiting from a team of highly specialist consultants, particularly in the fields of complex foot/ankle conditions; spinal deformity; spinal cord injury; brachial plexus injury and traumatic limb reconstruction. As a long-serving Orthotist at this hospital, Martin gained extensive knowledge in these specialist orthopaedic and neuromuscular conditions.

Martin commenced private practice in 2007 and has provided consultant services at numerous private hospitals in London whilst also conducting a specialist spinal injury consultation service for the North West London NHS trust. Working for 6 years with The Wellington Hospital was a particular highlight due to the opportunity to deliver orthotic care within the largest private neuro-rehabilitation facility in the UK. Client groups were primarily stroke victims and traumatic brain injury who required extensive physiotherapy and gait re-education. This exemplary service also exposed Martin to cutting edge assistive technology equipment, including the Lokomat and Armeo systems.

Medicolegal Experience:
Martin commenced medicolegal work in 2008 as a consultant for Pace Rehabilitation, a leading Orthotic/Prosthetic clinical service before launching Middleton Medicolegal in 2015.  He currently conducts ~80 cases per year with an approximate Claimant 60% / Defendant 35% / Joint 5% split.  He holds a Cardiff University Expert Witness Certificate through Bond Solon and is a vetted member of the Expert Witness Institute. Reports are impartial, objectively reasoned and evidence-based.  The service is timely and accessible; we never miss deadlines. Martin has a particular interest in foot/ankle injury, lower limb neurological/muscular dysfunction (such as “drop foot”), partial foot/toe amputation and brachial plexus injury.

Martin conducts regular clinics in Buckinghamshire, Birmingham, and Cheshire along with ad hoc locations on request. See our Contact Us page for more information and get in touch for further options to suit the claimant’s location.
