What the credentials mean
Reading a surgeon’s CV
Qualifications are easy to list and hard to interpret. Here is what the ones above actually represent.
FRCS — Glasgow, 1997
Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow is a postgraduate surgical qualification awarded by examination, taken after years of supervised hospital training. It is earned, not applied for.
MBBS — 1985
The primary medical degree, from Liaquat Medical College, Jamshoro. Everything above it — the residencies, the fellowship, the surgical practice — was built on top of it over the following four decades.
UK hospital posts, 1995–1999
Seven posts across British hospitals in Edinburgh, Bradford, Dudley, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and Tyne & Wear. Named institutions and dates, listed above, so the record can be checked.
22,000+ procedures
In hair restoration, volume matters more than in most surgery: results depend on thousands of small, repeated judgements about angle, density and placement. Experience compounds.
If you would like to see registration or licence documentation, ask at your consultation — the clinic can show it to you directly.
Consult Dr. Tunio
Bring your questions and, if you have them, photographs. You will get an honest assessment of what is achievable — including when surgery is not the right answer.
