Biography
Mr Shoaib Iqbal is substantive Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Forth Valley Royal Hospital, NHS Trust.
He prides himself in his NHS career spanning two decades, completing his Core Surgical Training in the Mersey region, going on to Higher Surgical Training in Trauma Orthopaedics in hospitals across northeast England which lead to his Certificate of Completion of Training award in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Thereafter, he undertook dual subspecialty fellowships in both knee surgery and lower limb arthroplasty at centres of excellence in Leeds and Glasgow. The Leeds Knee Fellowship is a highly regarded programme by BASK where Mr Iqbal gained an understanding of a variety of knee conditions and their management. The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital Glasgow, where he completed the Lower Limb Arthroplasty Fellowship is the highest volume arthroplasty unit in the UK, where computer assisted and robotic surgery is also performed.
Mr Iqbal performs hip and knee arthroplasty, total hip and knee replacements, partial knee replacements and knee scopes with precision and skill, delivering excellent functional outcomes for his patients. Within his department, he is the most prolific partial knee replacement surgeon, having performed over a hundred to date.
Mr Iqbal offers accurate assessment of each individual patient, and follows the ethos of shared care decisions, where the patient feels heard, understood and fully supported through the whole experience. This is evident from the numerous cards of appreciation he has received from patients over the years, a collection that makes him feel honoured and humbled.
To keep clinical skills sharp, and stay abreast of current knowledge and technical advancements in the field, Mr Iqbal participates regularly in national and international conferences and meetings, as well as hands on simulation courses.
When he is not in the operating room, you would probably find him cooking a family meal or hosting a barbecue for friends. He also loves to go cycling around the countryside whenever the weather permits.

3/25/2025I’ve recently just had a ACL reconstruction surgery at Elanic, the waiting time with the NHS at the moment was almost 3 years for the same surgery, Elanic were able to do it within 4 weeks of my first consultation the staff were brilliant with me from the DR duray who did my procedure to the staff at the front desk and the nurses that looked after me over night, they couldn’t have been more helpful, very responsive when I have need to check up with them over the phone and so helpful. Would recommend to anyone in need of surgery, they have been a joy to work with.

2/10/2025I just had my breast augmentation surgery and I have very positive experiences with Elanic. Kimberley the nurse is an angel, she took care of me from the very beginning and walked me to the door after my surgery , she is very nice and professional, thanks to you Kimberley I stopped stressing. The surgeon, anaesthetist and nurses who looked after me that day were all very professional and nice. The clinic has a lovely and very professional team and has really changed my life for the better.
