Profile
Miss Saiqa Sayed is a Consultant Vascular and Endovascular surgeon at the University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire (UHCW).
Having trained at the University of Leicester medical school, she completed her basic surgical training in the Midlands before going on to take a research post in Vascular biology at St George’s Hospital, University of London. She was successfully awarded an MD in 2009 looking at the relationship between Thrombomodulation on Carotid Plaque Stability. She started her higher surgical training in London, on the South West Thames deanery and spent three years in General surgery before specialising in Vascular surgery. After completing her FRCS (Fellowship of Royal College of Surgeons) in 2014, she began her fellowship in lower limb salvage at Kings College Hospital where her specialist interest developed.
Post Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) by GMC, she was appointed as a Consultant Vascular Surgeon at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire in April 2016. Since this time, she has built up a busy NHS practice delivering both routine and specialist vascular care to patients in both the elective and especially emergency setting, as UHCW remains one of the busiest major trauma centres in the UK. Her NHS practice involves treating patients with aortic aneurysmal disease, carotid artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and venous disease (varicose veins) using both open and minimally invasive endovascular techniques. Her specialist interest remains in lower limb salvage in diabetic patients. Since her appointment, she has been instrumental in developing the multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic at UHCW and hub hospital in North Warwickshire delivering an excellent diabetic foot service managing complex diabetic foot complications. Her innovative approach and dedication have significantly enhanced the quality of diabetic foot care services.
She is actively involved in peer reviewing diabetic foot services in the West Midlands as Vascular lead evaluating clinical protocols, multi-disciplinary collaboration, patient outcomes and quality improvement initiatives to ensure the highest standards of care. She has had the opportunity to present her work at both National and International conferences. She has been involved in multiple National studies as principal investigator and is keen to continue to develop her research portfolio.
She is passionate about teaching and is clinical and educational supervisor to foundation doctors and core trainees. She actively participates in local and National courses for surgeons in training and is a question writer for the part 1 FRCS vascular surgery examinations.
She has and continues to maintain a track record of being a hardworking, caring and enthusiastic surgeon with a passion for patient care.
Her outside interests include cycling and yoga for relaxation. Her greatest joy remains spending time with her two daughters and husband.
