Mr Shahid Aslam qualified in medicine in 1982, and subsequently had more than 2 years of experience at Post-Fellowship Registrar level in general surgery. He then worked as a plastic surgeon at Nottingham City Hospital, and in 1993 took on the role of Senior House Officer at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, assessing emergency hand and facial injuries and carrying out most procedures on his own.

Currently working at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, Mr Aslam has two main surgical commitments: dealing with skin malignancies both in their initial stages and when they have spread to the regional nodes, and treating hand trauma in a very busy hand surgery unit with three committed hand consultant surgeons.
