Mr Ashley Carr

I was born and educated in Melbourne and completed my medical degree at Monash University in 1997. I undertook orthopaedic specialty training in Victoria and was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2007.

Following my specialist training, I completed a 12-month fellowship at the Orthopaedic and Arthritic Institute in Toronto, Canada, where I focused on hip and knee surgery. In 2009, I undertook further subspecialty training in shoulder surgery at the renowned Schulthess Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland. Later that year, I was awarded the Orthopaedic and Trauma Care Foundation Visiting Fellowship in Trauma Surgery to Hong Kong. These international training opportunities provided extensive experience in the management of hip and knee conditions, ranging from sporting injuries to primary and revision joint replacement surgery, as well as all aspects of shoulder surgery, including arthroscopic procedures.

I joined Melbourne Orthopaedic Group in 2011. I have worked as an Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon at The Alfred Hospital, where I was involved in the management of major trauma patients. I have also previously worked at Latrobe Regional Hospital and continue to maintain strong professional links with the Gippsland region.

I have published journal articles in my subspecialty areas and maintain a strong interest in research and medical education. I previously served as an Assistant Editor of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery. I am currently the supervisor of registrar teaching at Melbourne Orthopaedic Group and an honorary lecturer at Monash University.
