Sukhdeep undertook further specialist fellowship training in shoulder, elbow and hand surgery at the Upper Limb fellowship programme at Bristol Royal Infirmary and Southmead Hospital. During this time, she gained experience and expertise in minimally invasive and arthroscopic upper limb techniques, complex revision and reverse geometry shoulder arthroplasty surgery, motion preserving reconstructive surgery for degenerative disease in the shoulder, elbow and hand and traumatic disorders of the upper limb including the soft tissue reconstruction. Following this, Sukhdeep undertook the coveted Trueta Oxford Trauma fellowship to gain valuable insight and develop her skills in complex trauma.
Whilst on the fellowship in 2019, Sukhdeep was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and commenced her full-time post in February 2020. Her practice consists predominantly of primary and revision elbow and shoulder arthroplasty and arthroscopy, but she remains part of the on-call orthopaedic team, dealing with both general trauma and complex upper limb trauma.

She is actively involved in research, keenly following the latest developments in the field of shoulder and elbow surgery. She is a recognised educator and clinical supervisor and enjoys instructing on ATLS courses as well as teaching at both junior doctor and registrar levels.
