Nick Potter is co-founded The London Spine Clinic, a private neurosurgical unit in Harley street where he worked with a multidisciplinary team, treating complex spinal and musculoskeletal problems. He has now moved on after 15 years to develop further his other orthopaedic interests. He now works at the Princess Grace Hospital Orthopaedic Centre in his new unit. He has also co-convened the weekly, spinal multi-disciplinary team meeting, regularly attended by 20 specialists.

He is fondly known as 'Nick-the-Neck' by his colleagues, as he specialises in cervical spine injuries as well as head, neck and facial pain syndromes. At his Fulham clinic (Basuto Medical Centre, 22 years) he worked closely with a team of GP's in primary care. He has a special interest in pregnancy related problems and adolescents.

He has appeared on television and written numerous articles.

He is currently writing a book on 'pain' for patients and pioneering the use of dynamic CT to study spinal movement in the upper cervical spine. He is a consultant to the European Scanning Centre in London. He has also been consultant to Brevan Howard Asset Management on human performance for 2 years.

He fundamentally believes in making treatment fun and as easy as possible, whenever possible, and cannot see what could possibly be more interesting than people.

He has been a keen sportsman himself (Rugby, Marathon, Triathlon) and still enjoys running and tennis. He has coached junior rugby at Henley Rugby Club for 7 years. He is married with two children to whom he is devoted. Possibly most important of all for patients, he has had a spinal injury himself.
