Background
Professional Profile:
Osama is currently working as an Upper GI and General surgeon at West Herts. He studied medicine initially back in the Middle East and moved to the United Kingdom for Basic and Higher Surgical Training.
He worked in numerous centres around the nation, including Liverpool, Newcastle, and Scotland, before settling in north-west London and experienced working at Imperial College, Chelsea & Westminster, the Royal Marsden and University College London hospitals giving him a huge breadth of clinical experience.
Osama also completed a Royal College approved fellowship in Laparoscopic, Anti-Reflux and Bariatrics.
Besides clinical experience, Osama completed his Medical Doctorate in 2017 at Imperial College. His research was based on metabolic health in obesity using large UK-based databases such as SPSS, R and PRISMA and published in very high-impact journals and therefore providing high-quality evidence-based care.
