Rishee Parmar graduated from the University of Manchester in 2000. He underwent postgraduate training in Manchester and Stoke prior to working in Sydney, Australia. He then completed his orthopaedic training in the North West of England and gained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2010.

He undertook three fellowships at Wrightington, Liverpool Upper Limb Unit and Trauma at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. This allowed him to gain further experience of complex upper limb conditions. He has since visited centres in Europe and North America to acquire new skills.

He volunteered for a year as a consultant in Malawi and has been invited to present his experiences both nationally and internationally. Subsequently he has maintained an active interest in supporting orthopaedics in developing countries. He has written chapters for textbooks specifically aimed at treating orthopaedic injuries in the austere environment.

After completing his fellowships he was employed as a consultant at St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust and has since been appointed as the newest member of the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit.
