Harley Street Medical Area clinicians took centre stage at the Arab Health Exhibition in Dubai, offering an exclusive glimpse into the future of healthcare.
One of the centrepieces of the exhibition was a state-of-the-art simulated operating theatre, where top UK hospitals and clinicians gathered to demonstrate surgical simulations.
Attendees were treated to demonstrations from renowned clinics in London’s prestigious Harley Street Medical Area, including Dr Robin Chatterjee, a prominent consultant specialising in musculoskeletal, sports and exercise medicine at HCA Healthcare UK.
In front of huge crowds, he showcased a series of revolutionary regenerative techniques. His live demonstration provided insight into how regenerative medicine is transforming traditional approaches to conditions like golfer’s elbow, runner’s knee, osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder.
Dr Chatterjee said: ‘This live presentation was a unique opportunity for Middle Eastern audiences to witness first hand the advancements that allow for faster patient recovery and the avoidance of traditional surgical procedures and their associated side-effects.
‘It was great to showcase how modern regenerative techniques can enhance patient care and outcomes.’
Attendees also witnessed an array of modern and sophisticated regenerative and orthobiologic techniques, including ultrasound-guided injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid (Ostenil Plus), Arthrosamid and hydrodistension. These extraordinary techniques represent a paradigm shift in non-surgical musculoskeletal care.
Groundbreaking trials
Another highlight was the presentation by leading London neuroradiologist Dr Emer MacSweeney, chief executive and medical director of the award-winning Harley Street clinic Re:Cognition Health.

Dr MacSweeney was on hand to detail a new perspective and a cautiously optimistic outlook for early-stage Alzheimer’s and how the definition of the disease has changed completely in the light of these recent scientific advances.
She said: ‘There is every reason to be cautiously optimistic, as these new-generation medications, available in the UK and in international clinical trials, can potentially change an individual’s future.’
