Jonty Bird is a Senior Physician Associate at RCG Health, primarily based at Russells Hall Hospital, Dudley, where he plays a key role in the Upper GI (UGI) surgical team.

Areas of Specialisation

His journey in healthcare began with a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Kent, followed by a postgraduate qualification in Physician Associate Studies at the University of Birmingham in 2015. Now registered with the GMC, he brings over eight years of hands-on experience in clinical practice and quality improvement.

 

Throughout his career, Jonty has worked across multiple surgical specialties, including colorectal, upper GI, and urology, developing a wealth of expertise in managing surgical patients. At Russells Hall, he collaborates closely with surgeons across wards, clinics, and operating theatres, assisting in a wide range of procedures. These include complex laparoscopic surgeries such as para-oesophageal hernia repairs, completion cholecystectomies, and common bile duct explorations, as well as major open procedures like complex abdominal wall reconstructions and rare operations such as Roux-en-Y duodeno-jejunostomies for SMA syndrome. He also regularly assists with more routine procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomies, fundoplications, and both keyhole and open abdominal wall hernia repairs, as well as treatments for pilonidal disease.

Philosophy of Care

At RCG Health, Jonty is deeply committed to providing personalised patient care. He conducts follow-up consultations and supports patients at every stage of their treatment, ensuring they feel informed, reassured, and well cared for. His dedication to clinical excellence and patient-centred care makes him a highly valued member of the team and a trusted presence throughout the surgical journey.

Professional Affiliations and Leadership

Beyond the operating theatre, Jonty has been instrumental in improving surgical pathways at Russells Hall. As the hospital’s Biliary Coordinator, he played a key role in developing and implementing the Biliary Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) pathway, which has significantly improved patient flow and efficiency. His expertise extends to audit and quality improvement, and he actively contributes to the Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (CAWR) and Anti-Reflux Surgery (ARS) multidisciplinary team meetings.
