Mr. Greg Fellows

I am a Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeon practicing at The Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Bristol.  I took up my post in 2013 after having previously been a Consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.  I am the Neurosurgical Lead for Neuro-oncology and Neuro-trauma and chair the respective MDT’s.  Bristol Children’s Hospital is one of the UK’s busiest paediatric trauma centres, with over 65% of the trauma admissions being related to head injuries.

As a Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeon, I provide elective and emergency paediatric neurosurgery services across all aspects of paediatric neurosurgery except epilepsy surgery.  My sub-specialist interest are paediatric neuro-oncology, trauma, and hydrocephalus, and these have formed the basis of my research interests.  In 2025 I was part of the team that led the paediatric neuro-oncology service at Bristol Children’s Hospital to achieve Tessa Jowell Centre of Excellence status.

I was awarded the prestigious Ladislau and Melita Steiner Radiosurgery Fellowship in 2016 and following specialist Gamma Knife training under Professor Lundsford at the University Pittsburgh Medical Centre (UMPC) and Professor Regis at the Timone Hospital in Marseille I have been part of the Gamma Knife service in Bristol since 2016.  

MEDICOLEGAL

I have been a Consultant Adult & PaediatricNeurosurgeon for 14-years, having focused primarily on paediatric neurosurgery since 2018.   I have undertaken medicolegal work since 2017/8, and average between 15-25 reports per year.  I prepare reports covering personal injury, causation, condition & prognosis and clinical negligence.  As of 01-2026 the current ratio of reports are as follows: PI 42% : Clin Neg 58%, Claimant 56% : Defendant 44%.

I have represented NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, NHS Resolutions, the GMC, the MDDUS, a number of Coroner’s offices and have a near equal split of defendant:claimant ratio in personal injury and clinical negligence cases via solicitors in the UK and Ireland.
