About

Divya Prakash undertook specialist training in orthopaedics in the Birmingham region. As part of this, he undertook several placements at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. A fellowship in knee surgery followed in Derby and Nottingham, where he was able to further refine and perfect his surgical skills.

On completion of his training, he joined the Royal Hospital Haslar and the Queen Alexandra Hospitals, Portsmouth, as a Consultant in 2002. Here he continued to further his interest in knee and hip surgery, looking after the local population and also the military personnel, many of whom had sustained severe knee injuries. As a result he began to take special interest in the management of knee and hip problems in young adults as he found this to be challenging, stimulating and rewarding.

He moved to Birmingham in 2005 joining the Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. He has been instrumental in introducing new procedures and techniques to this hospital.

He has tried to stay abreast of the latest international developments in knee and hip surgery. To this end he has visited leading orthopaedic facilities, including the Jefferson Institute, Philadelphia, and Sint Vincentius Deinze Hospital, Belgium.
