Professor Waqar Bhatti
I’m a Consultant Radiologist specialising in musculoskeletal and sports.
I’ve been the personal radiologist to both Manchester premiership football clubs since 2007, and radiologist to Lancashire County cricket club and several rugby clubs. I was only radiologist from the region at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and provided support to the 2012 Olympic teams based in Manchester.
I continue to provide support to British Cycling, British Athletics athletes, the national Taekwondo and ladies netball teams, and multiple other sports professionals including boxers and golfers.
I have a strong team-based approach with sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists and podiatrists, and we’re in regular contact with one another directly and via multidisciplinary meetings, to discuss optimal case management and post-procedural therapy for patients.
