Alexander McCall

Alexander McCall is a Consultant Physiotherapist and Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner with over 25 years of experience across the NHS, elite sport, and private practice. He has recently been appointed as Consultant Physiotherapist within the Ministry of Defence, where he will specialise in the management and treatment of complex musculoskeletal conditions. Alongside this, he will continue his role at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, focusing on complex knee, shoulder, and young adult hip conditions.

His clinical work centres on advanced clinical reasoning in the assessment and management of complex musculoskeletal presentations. Practising at an extended scope level, he integrates diagnostic imaging, independent prescribing, and injection therapy to support high-level, evidence-informed decision making in secondary care.

Alexander has been heavily involved in the development of advanced practice roles and MSK pathways, with a focus on optimising patient flow, reducing surgical burden, and improving clinical outcomes through expert-led assessment and intervention.

Teaching is a key part of his professional practice. He has delivered both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University of Birmingham, specialising in clinical reasoning and manual therapy, and is actively involved in the education and mentorship of Advanced Practice Physiotherapists, SEM registrars, and orthopaedic trainees.

Alexander's work reflects a strong interest in the application of expert clinical reasoning to real-world complexity, bridging the gap between theory, evidence, and advanced musculoskeletal practice.
