He graduated from the Medical College of St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, in 1994, where he was awarded the Matthews Duncan Prize in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Mr Alam trained in obstetrics and gynaecology mainly in north and east London and spent additional time training in New Zealand. He has been a consultant since 2006.

Mr Alam has extensive experience in general obstetrics and gynaecology with a special interest in gynaecological ultrasound scanning and the treatment of heavy, irregular, and painful periods, problem periods, pelvic pain, and postmenopausal problems. He provides one-stop appointments that may include consultation, examination, ultrasound, and treatment in a single visit. He also has expertise in colposcopy, endometriosis, menopause, miscarriage management, sexual health, urogynaecology, and menstrual disorders. He offers both medical and surgical treatments and is trained in the full range of general gynaecological procedures including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, dilatation and curettage, hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal, vaginal repair, fibroid treatment, and endometrial ablation.
