MB BS DipESM MSc

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

During his time at Chelsea FC he studied Sports and Exercise Medicine at leading institutions both in the UK and Europe and served on the faculty of FA pitch side emergency medicine courses. Dr Porter was appointed to the role of Men’s First Team Doctor at Chelsea FC in the 2015/2016 season working daily with the team and all the staff at the training ground as well as travelling domestically and internationally to attend games and tours, working with the FA in the UK and UEFA and FIFA to ensure player wellness, safety and health.

As a strong advocate for a non-surgical approach to joint and muscle pathology Dr Porter has been able to translate the advances in this field to revolutionise our approach to medicine with novel therapies.

His work in the field of orthobiologics continues at Opus today, utilising the potential of therapies such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cells. Dr Porter has brought allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell therapy to the UK by working with the regulatory bodies to ensure patient safety and treatment success.

From his time at Chelsea FC Dr Porter provides a comprehensive medical assessment of each patients condition ranging from analysis of blood bio markers, imaging, performance testing alongside the musculoskeletal assessment to make sure that the patient receives a treatment plan tailored not only to their condition but to them as a whole.

Following an exceptional career at the highest level in professional football Dr. Porter has translated much of his elite sports medicine experience to a wider patient focus.

Review: Dr Porter was superb, I attended Opus following a recommendation from a friend and have been blown away by the level of care I have received. I have a complex medical history and have seen various experts and Dr Porter was able to very quickly rationalise all of the information into a very clear plan.
