Mr Al-Obaidi completed his medical studies at the Baghdad College of Medicine 1995 and began his Trauma & Orthopaedic Training in Jordan from 2002 till 2007, during which he finished his MRCS exam.
Mr Al-Obaidi continued his senior training under the guide of City Hospital Munich-Harlaching, Germany whilst at the linked Rashid Hospital in Dubai.
He came to the UK in 2010 to complete an extensive 8-year fellowship at Imperial College London, during which Mr al-Obaidi accomplished his FRCS T&O, honing his skills in major complex trauma and elective knee surgery, as well as pelvic and hip surgery. Mr Al-Obaid went on to complete a diploma in computer assisted robotic surgery in Glasgow.
His main interest is in hip and knee surgery, including complex trauma and the use of robotics. This consists of procedures such as hip and knee arthroplasty (including partial knee arthroplasty), arthroscopic soft tissue knee surgery and managing complex trauma cases, including revision of failed procedures and non-union.
Mr Al-Obaidi has significant involvement and impact in the education of medical trainees across London. Many students attend his trauma seminars and he has directly trained many of the surgeons in the region. His passion is clear and has been recognised, having been awarded the prestigious Lipmann Kessel trainer of the year award between 2019 till 2022 for supporting medical education as part of the Northwest London registrar training program.
Mr Al-Obaidi is equipped to provide patients with individualised treatment plans to support them. His expertise in the use of robotics means he is equipped to offer patients minimally invasive surgery with reduced pain and shorter recovery times.
