Mr Ayoub’s medical career began with the award of his MB, ChB degree in Medicine. During the latter part of medical school, it became clear that surgery was the career path he wished to pursue.

This early training provided a strong and diverse surgical foundation, culminating in the award of Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in 1996.
Academics and Research
Mr Ayoub has maintained a strong interest in research and academic orthopaedics throughout his career. He held a Research Registrar post at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, where he worked under the supervision of leading surgeons in the field of orthopaedic oncology. This experience provided him with valuable exposure to scientific research and advanced specialist practice.
He has contributed to the academic field through numerous publications and podium presentations at both national and international meetings. In addition, he completed a one-year postgraduate study programme at the University of Birmingham and, following submission of his dissertation, was awarded an MSc degree in 1998.

Higher Orthopaedic Surgery Training
Mr Ayoub continued his orthopaedic training at a higher specialist level through the Orthopaedic Registrar Training Programme in the West Midlands, England. During this period, he developed substantial expertise in general orthopaedic and trauma surgery.
At the completion of this programme, he successfully passed the Intercollegiate Examination of the four Royal Colleges of Surgeons and was awarded FRCS (Orth) in 2004
Subspecialist Orthopaedic Training
During the final two years of his higher surgical training, Mr Ayoub developed a focused subspecialist interest in arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, using the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques.
He spent a year training at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, one of the UK’s leading specialist orthopaedic centres, where he gained valuable experience in the treatment of work-related and sports injuries. He then undertook further specialist fellowship training in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery in Sheffield, expanding his expertise in complex upper limb conditions and advanced arthroscopic procedures.
