Biography
After completing his neurosurgical training in Pakistan Mr Irfan Malik underwent advanced neurosurgical training at The Royal Hallamshire Hospital and the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire between 2001 and 2006. Following this he obtained his FRCS(SN) and then enhanced his experience by completing Fellowships in Complex spine and Epilepsy surgery from the University Hospital Coventry and King’s College Hospital, London.
His specialist interests include the assessment and treatment (both surgical and non-surgical) of all spinal conditions including degenerative, traumatic and malignant spinal disorders. He is an expert in the use of minimally invasive techniques for spinal surgery and disc replacement surgery for the treatment of neck and back pain, arm pain and sciatica. He also has a special interest in endoscopic spine surgery (keyhole surgery) and has performed more endoscopic procedures than any other UK surgeon, and is an accredited trainer for UK and international surgeons who wish to learn this procedure. Mr Malik’s pioneering surgery was also featured in the Channel 4 documentary Emergency (Series 3, Episode 4).
In addition to his spinal interests and together with his private practice at London Neurosurgery Partnership, he also provides a comprehensive service for the treatment of epilepsy.
