Mr Tibrewal is highly qualified, with an MBBS from the Royal Free Hospital and University College Medical School at the University of London, and is triple fellowship trained at international centres of excellence in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, as well as Oxford. He underwent specialist orthopaedic training on the prestigious Percivall Pott Rotation in London, and was awarded his FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2011. 

Mr Tibrewal's international sub-specialist training included comprehensive advanced experience in all aspects of knee surgery and he gained expertise in the use of computer navigation in Sydney. He then trained in complex arthroplasty and trauma reconstruction in Melbourne, and on his return to the UK he focused purely on knee surgery at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford.
