Mr.Raza undertook core surgical training in both Cambridge and Manchester before advancing his expertise at the prestigious Sir John Charnley Centre of Excellence for Hip Surgery in Wrightington. This world-renowned institution is known for offering long-lasting, high-performance joint replacements (both hip and knee) to patients with a focus on enhanced recovery. During his time at Wrightington, Mr Raza worked alongside globally recognised surgeons, honing state-of-the-art and advanced surgical techniques that consistently deliver superior results in pain relief, high functional stability and longevity for his patients. 

His higher surgical training in Newcastle upon Tyne included a lecturing role at North Tees University Hospital, where he helped educate future surgeons. Following his Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in orthopaedics, Mr Raza pursued advanced subspecialist fellowship training in Aberdeen. Here, he gained further expertise in treating complex hip and knee conditions, including severe deformities, hip dysplasia, collapsed joints (AVN) and revision surgeries for failed joint replacements. By utilising cutting-edge techniques, he ensures faster recovery and consistently achieves exceptional functional outcomes for his patients.

Mr Raza is committed to offering patient-centred care. He ensures every patient receives clear, jargon-free explanations about their condition and treatment options, with a focus on making informed decisions. Whether it’s a non-surgical approach or advanced surgery, Mr Raza offers a personalised treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

He has a referral practice dealing with complex and challenging cases including replacements that have failed and need to be re-done (revision joint replacement). Additionally, he is among the select few surgeons in Scotland offering ‘Bariatric Arthroplasty’ for patients with high BMI (Obesity).
