Mr Malik is a highly experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon whose main practice is based at Droitwich Spa Hospital. He also works at Worcester Royal Hospital, Alexandra Hospital, and Kidderminster Hospital & Treatment Centre.
His specialist interests include all aspects of shoulder, elbow, and knee surgery, with a strong focus on sports injuries, arthroscopy, and complex soft tissue reconstruction.
Mr Malik graduated in Medicine from Cardiff University in 2007, following an earlier BSc (Hons) from St George’s, University of London.

He later completed the Perth Sports Surgery Fellowship in Australia with Mr Peter D’Alessandro, focusing on advanced shoulder surgery, upper limb procedures, and multi-ligament knee reconstruction. He also completed a three-month trauma fellowship at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth before returning to the UK.
