The King's Birthday Honours 2025 Lists have been published, marking the achievements and service of extraordinary people for their outstanding contributions, including members of the University of Oxford. This year's lists highlight the breadth of Oxford’s global impact, from advancing children’s wellbeing and orthopaedic medicine to pioneering mathematics, computing, and ecological conservation.
Professor Andrew Carr has been appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to Orthopaedic Research and Training.
He is Nuffield Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery in Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences, and a fellow of Worcester College.
Professor Carr has combined clinical practice, teaching, research and leadership roles throughout his career. His research has had a significant influence on the management of patients undergoing surgery. He has pioneered the development and evaluation of surgical implants and technologies, including the Oxford partial knee replacement, that has been implanted in over 2 million patients worldwide.
He said: ‘It was a huge surprise to receive this award. It recognises the work of many colleagues, collaborators and students who have been very supportive throughout my career. I am enormously appreciative to them all. I am especially pleased that orthopaedic research has been recognised and am grateful to the commitment and support of patients and funders.’
