Mr Raymond undertook his surgical training on the University College London Hospital Programme, gaining additional experience in complex hip and knee replacement at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and major trauma surgery at the Royal London Hospital. He subsequently won an Orthopaedic Trauma Association fellowship at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, USA, and then completed an observership in hip preservation at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. 

Mr Raymond then went on to complete the Royal Bournemouth Hospital Hip Surgery Fellowship and, following this, secured a place on the highly competitive Perth Sports Surgery Fellowship with Dr Peter D’Alessandro. Here, he focused on sports injuries, arthroscopic surgery of the hip and knee as well as multi-ligament reconstruction of the knee. He then developed further advanced skills in hip resurfacing and revision hip replacement surgery on the Fremantle Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Fellowship in Perth.

Mr Raymond founded and leads the young adult hip practice at The University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. His practice encompasses hip arthroscopy, metal hip resurfacing prior to the introduction of ceramic resurfacing, and femoral osteotomies — all of which enable patients to return to optimal fitness and performance. Mr Raymond also performs hip replacements with both traditional and robotic methods and has extensive experience in treating lower limb trauma.

As a keen sportsman himself, Mr Raymond has a special interest in treating sports injuries. This includes tendon repairs of the hamstrings, quadriceps and abductor muscle groups. He is fellowship trained in complex ligament reconstructions and meniscal repairs within the knee.  In addition to his clinical practice, he has an exemplary track record of surgical teaching experience and outside of work enjoys tennis, watersports, yoga and is a big rugby fan. 

Mr Raymond is a member of the British Orthopaedic Association, the Hip Preservation Society (ISHA) and the British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK).
