Mr Hassaan Sheikh

Having obtained my medical degree with honours at the University of Leeds, I completed all of my postgraduate training in Yorkshire. In addition to my medical degree I was also awarded a bachelors degree with honours. I completed my higher surgical training in the prestigious South Yorkshire rotation. Following specialist orthopaedic training, I developed my skills in upper limb surgery during two fellowships. These exposed me to the breadth of shoulder and elbow procedures under the tutelage of multiple renowned upper limb surgeons. I was appointed as a Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant in the NHS where I have a busy elective practice focusing on all aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery as well as a general Orthopaedic Trauma practice.

I specialise in treating all aspects of shoulder and elbow complaints. The ethos of my practice is to offer patient-centred surgical care. I always consider whether non-operative treatment would be more appropriate prior to considering surgery. I work closely with my physiotherapy team to ensure the best outcomes. I am also trained to use ultrasound scanning in my outpatient clinics to accurately guide diagnostic and therapeutic injections - I use this resource judiciously to improve diagnostic accuracy and to ensure that I avoid unnecessary surgical interventions on my patients. Where surgery is appropriate, I have a keen interest in shoulder arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) to ensure cutting edge care and a speedy recovery after surgery. Occasionally, I utilise open surgery with a larger incision such as for shoulder replacement surgery.
