Professional profile
Mr Uppal is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon with a sub specialty in

He attended medical school at the Royal Free Hospital, London
and after graduating in 1993, was awarded a prize in Pharmacology
for the results of his final examinations. He became a Fellow of
Royal College of Surgeons in 1998 following completion of his
junior surgical training. He went on to pursue his interest in
research and undertook a clinical trial of a new medicine that
improved wound healing. He was awarded a Master of Science (MSc)

was later published in various medical journals in the United
States.
Mr Uppal has worked in many teaching hospitals in London and has
been fortunate to work with many leading surgeons in the UK, USA
and Europe. He was made a Fellow of Royal College of Surgeons in
Plastic Surgery as a result of his experience and work.
Mr Uppal has since spent three months living and working in
Belgium to further specialise in his sub specialty interest of
Breast Cancer Reconstruction. He has travelled to meetings in
France, Belgium, Italy and the US to keep up to date with the
latest techniques and continues to do so.
Mr Uppal is currently a regular lecturer at the Royal College of
Radiologists in Sentinel node biopsy for malignant melanoma and at
the Hellenic Centre and Thames Valley University. He also recently
