Miss Homa Arshad

Miss Arshad’s professional practice is in primary, complex and revision hip and knee arthroplasty surgery and pelvic and acetabular trauma. She has an interest in unusual or challenging problems, whilst also maintaining a focus on the patient’s perspective, no matter how small or large the issue is. Her main interests are in collaborative patient care and arthroplasty as an immediate solution for traumatic injuries and fractures. She is the Clinical Lead Consultant for the department at the Royal London Hospital. She graduated from Cambridge University and trained on the Percivall Pott Rotation. Medical student experience included New York, California and Salvador in Brazil. She completed her revision hip fellowship in Norfolk, working with John Nolan, a recent past president of the British Hip Society. She also completed fellowships in Germany with Professor Michael Raschke, Head of AO and in Denmark with Professor Kjeld Sobelle who pioneered minimally invasive periacetabular osteotomy. Training as the pelvic and acetabular fellow at Barts Health facilitated enhanced abilities in acetabular reconstruction for arthroplasty as well as trauma. She is a current ATLS instructor, teaching also on the national instructor’s faculty course and is an active recruiter of new faculty. She also teaches as faculty for AO, the Orthopaedic Trauma Society and the European Pelvic Course. She is an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer and tutor for the International Orthopaedic Trauma Sciences MSc at Queen Mary University of London and a reviewer for BJJ. She is Advocacy Lead for the Working Party against Sexual Misconduct in Surgery, a group which has driven recent action across multiple organisations in favour of excellence in the environment of patient care. Research interests include patient outcomes, pelvic and acetabular trauma and enhanced recovery.
