Miss Homa Arshad's practice is based on hip and knee arthroplasty and the identification and management of problems affecting the hip or knee. She carries out straightforward, complex or challenging hip and knee replacement surgery and accepts referrals from surgeons around the region. The majority of this work is for revision hip surgery where hip replacements have developed problems which need a solution.

Her professional practice includes orthopaedic trauma surgery. She is currently the Clinical Lead Consultant for the department at the NHS Royal London Hospital.  She is fellowship-trained in pelvic and acetabular surgery as well as primary and revision hip surgery where a fracture has occurred.

She was appointed to her first substantive consultant post at Newcastle Hospitals in October 2015. After finishing fellowship she spent almost a year in practice there with the same specialty interests and represented her Trust at the Northern Trauma Network in the development of regional services.

She graduated from Cambridge University and trained on the prestigious Percivall Pott Rotation. She worked also in New York and California in translational research methods as a medical student. Elective was spent in Salvador da Bahia in Brazil investigating operative emergencies, beautiful beaches and the fascinating local culture.

She spent time in Norfolk as a trainee and close to completion was appointed as the senior revision hip fellow, 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.

She is a current ATLS instructor and recruits and trains new faculty members on behalf of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. She teaches as faculty for AO and the Royal London FRCS Viva course. She recently returned to Newcastle as course convenor for an international training course for orthopaedic surgeons.

Since returning to London, she initially took over as Head of Trauma and has been appointed also as Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer and tutor for the International Orthopaedic Trauma Sciences MSc at Queen Mary University of London. Her interests include enhanced recovery for patients and patient experience. 

She is an author of a number of publications and book chapters, which reflect her professional interests.
