Dr Robin Chatterjee is a London-based specialist doctor in pain management, musculoskeletal health, and sports injuries. He has a particular interest in complex bone, muscle, and joint pain where the underlying cause is unclear, and takes a holistic, investigative approach to care.
Dr Chatterjee considers the wider factors that influence recovery and chronic pain, including sleep, hormonal health, nutrition, stress, and mental wellbeing. He also has a strong interest in longevity medicine, focusing on strategies that help patients not only live longer, but remain healthier and more resilient throughout their lives.
Before specialising in Sport and Exercise Medicine, Dr Chatterjee worked extensively as a General Practitioner, and in Emergency Care, Anaesthetics, and Intensive Care Medicine. His broad clinical experience includes frontline work during major international incidents, including acting as a BBC medical correspondent during a terror attack in Thailand.
Dr Chatterjee has received awards for his research into vitamin D deficiency as a cause of low back pain, and for his study on GP knowledge of physical activity guidelines. He previously served on the Research Committee of the European College of Sport & Exercise Physicians (ECOSEP), lectured on the MSc Sport & Exercise Medicine course at Queen Mary University of London, and is the immediate past peer-elected General Secretary of the British Association of Sport & Exercise Medicine (BASEM).
With wide-ranging experience across elite and grassroots sport, Dr Chatterjee has provided medical support for athletes and organisations including London Broncos Rugby League, Millwall FC, and the Royal Ballet School, as well as Team England Ladies Hockey and the Lawn Tennis Association.
