Consultant ENT Surgeon

I’m a consultant ENT surgeon with expertise in head and neck, thyroid and all aspects of ENT surgery for adults and children. I treat both benign and malignant conditions affecting the airway, swallowing, and salivary glands.

Within the NHS, I’m based at London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. There, I play a vital role in the Head & Neck Cancer MDT and ensure high clinical standards as Lead for Clinical Governance in ENT.

I’m passionate about both research and innovation. I actively contribute to medical journals and run an online platform for healthcare courses. My dedication has been recognised with awards, including a grant to develop a sustainable surgery platform.

I believe in empowering patients through knowledge and shared decision-making. I’m committed to advancing ENT surgery through research, innovation and training the next generation of healthcare professionals.
