Biography icon plus
Mr Nakhla is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a specialist interest in enhanced recovery and minimally invasive surgery, performing over 750 operations/annum of which over 400 are joint replacements.
Amgad enjoys a wide variety of sporting activities, so he understands the demands of an active lifestyle. He is a keen cyclist, skier and sailor, married with two young boys and enjoys many other activities with his family including hiking, kayaking and long walks on the beach.
After qualifying from Cairo University in 2000 with a MB BCh (Honours), in 2006, he obtained his Masters degree in Trauma & Orthopaedics. He then went on to gain membership of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2006 and became a Fellow to the Royal College of Surgeons in 2008 for Trauma & Orthopaedics.
Mr Nakhla moved to Imperial College, London, where he worked as a Clinical Lecturer for 3 years. This was followed by intensive training in his chosen sub-specialty of hip and knee surgery through 3 senior fellowships. The first fellowship was at Charing Cross Hospital followed by 2 fellowships at Nottingham University Hospital where he gained extensive experience in complex primary and revision hip and knee surgery.
Mr Nakhla has worked as a full time consultant in the NHS for almost a decade. He performs a large volume of hip and knee replacements and arthroscopic knee surgery in addition to General Orthopaedics. He has particular interest in minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery. This enables his patients to get back to their full activities soon after surgery.
Besides his clinical work, Mr Nakhla has conducted a significant amount of research in his sub-specialty. He has presented his work at national and international levels and published in peer-reviewed journals.
Mr Nakhla is fluent in English and Arabic and can speak German. -
