- Overview
About
Qualifying from the Imperial College School of Medicine (London) in 2000, Professor Noorani completed his orthopaedic and trauma training on the Royal London Hospital rotation together with 16 months’ training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore with the Shoulder and Elbow Service and the Peripheral Nerve Injury Unit. He undertook further specialist fellowship training in shoulder, elbow and upper limb surgery at the Upper Limb fellowship programme at The Royal Liverpool Hospital. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Trauma & Orth) in 2009.
Professor Noorani works at St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London Hospital, a tertiary referral centre for complex upper limb patients and the biggest trauma centre in Europe.
Professor Noorani sees a multidisciplinary approach as the best way to treat patients upper limb problems. Adopting a holistic, patient-centric approach, only 20% of his patients will actually go on to have surgery. When surgery is required, he uses his expertise in minimally invasive techniques to get his patients back to normal as soon as possible.
He won the coveted Annual British Shoulder and Elbow Society Fellowship in 2010 and the British Orthopaedic Association Fellowship in 2011. He used these fellowships to gain further valuable insight into upper limb and trauma surgery including training widely in the US including at Harvard University, the Mayo Clinic, Columbia University, and the Rothman Institute. He was also awarded an AO trauma fellowship to Salzburg.
