About

Website: www.LondonShoulderAndArm.com

Mr Ahsan Akhtar is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. He completed his Medical Degree at the University of Manchester in 2007.

Subsequently, Mr Akhtar underwent rigorous Specialist Registrar training in Trauma & Orthopaedics at the prestigious North West Thames (Imperial) Rotation. He later completed specialist fellowships in upper limb surgery, initially at Imperial College Hospital then at the Internationally renowned Wrightington Upper Limb Unit. Following this, he was a Shoulder & Elbow Fellow at Royal Berkshire Hospitals, further honing his skills and knowledge in this specialised area of Orthopaedic surgery.

Overseas, Mr Akhtar also undertook visiting fellowships to Antwerp, Belgium (hand/wrist/elbow) and Nice, France (shoulder) to learn from leading hand and upper limb specialists. He is also equipped with the skills to perform WALANT (‘wide awake, local anaesthetic, no tourniquet)’ surgery in suitable cases.

Mr Akhtar always practises evidence-based medicine and utilises modern surgical techniques to ensure his patients receive the highest standards of care available. He is regularly involved in clinical audit and actively seeks opportunities to make changes to improve the quality of care he provides for his patients. He has previously created a new upper limb assessment pro forma which was implemented and led to improvements in documentation and ultimately patient care. He has presented on various topics both Nationally and Internationally and was a collaborator in the National Corona Hands Service evaluation project in the aftermath of the global pandemic.

Mr Akhtar is passionate about teaching and regularly supervises his trainees, as well as teaching Medical Students from Imperial College School of Medicine.

Communication is of paramount importance to Mr Akhtar, and as such he thrives on demonstrating effective communication skills with colleagues and patients alike on a daily basis and can perform very well in a team environment. Throughout his career his multi-source feedbacks have complemented him on his calm demeanour, the support he offers juniors, his leadership and communication skills and the strong ethos he places on teamwork.

With his comprehensive training and extensive experience, Mr Akhtar is committed to providing exceptional care to his patients.
