Jerry Gilmore MS FRCS FRCS (ED) is the Surgical Director of the London Breast Clinic at 108 Harley St. He trained at St Bartholomews Hospital, in London, where he was awarded the Begley Prize, from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
In 1975, he was awarded the Moynihan Prize by the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and the Hamilton Bailey Prize by the International College of Surgeons.
In the following year he was awarded a Master of Surgery Degree by the University of London and appointed Hunterian Professor by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
During research for the Master of Surgery Degree he developed an interest in wound healing which evolved into specific interest in soft tissue injuries and repair.
In 1980 he recognised the syndrome of Groin Disruption in sportsmen and undertook the first successful repair. The technique later became known as ‘Gilmore’s Groin’.
In 1981, he was appointed Consultant Surgeon to St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London where he established a breast unit and in 1988 was appointed Surgical Assessor to the National Breast Screening Programme.
In 1991 he established the London Breast Clinic at 108 Harley Street in order to offer private patients the multidisciplinary approach used in the NHS Breast Screening Programme.
In the same year, he also established The Gilmore Groin & Hernia Clinic at 108 Harley Street. Over 26 years more than 6000 sportsmen and sportswomen have been referred and over 3600, including 364 internationals, have undergone successful surgery.
The pioneering work on Gilmore’s Groin, which has resulted in the rapid restoration of many sportsmen’s careers, was recognised nationally by the award of Fellowship of the Institute of Sports Medicine in 1995.
In 2001 The Island Sports Fitness Centre in Hook was established as a Centre of Excellence by Jerry Gilmore for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with sporting and other injuries.
His general surgical background has led to an expertise in minor daycase surgery under local anaesthetic. At the One Stop Day Surgery Centre at 108 Harley Street he provides same day consultation and surgery for patients . He is on the surgical panel of The Mole Clinic providing rapid surgical access for their patients with suspicious lesions identified as requiring excision.
