Dr Ibrahim Fahal is a consultant physician and nephrologist (kidney disease) offering private medical care at Spire Roding Hopsital in Redbridge Essex and Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood Essex,
Dr Fahal is a consultant in general medicine and nephrology, and the clinical lead for renal services at Barking Havering and Redbridge Hospitals NHS Trust (both Queen's and King George's Hospitals). He is based at Queen's Hospital in Romford and is an honorary consultant nephrologist at Barts and the London NHS Hospital Trust.
At Spire Roding and Spire Hartswood private hospitals, Dr Ibrahim Fahal's clinical practice is centred on the management of patients at various stages of chronic kidney disease and hypertension. When he sees a patient, he will aim to establish a correct diagnosis, apply measures to retard the rate of progression of the kidney disease and screen and manage the expected complications of kidney failure and hypertension.
Dr Fahal's nephrology and hypertension clinic attempts to complete all initial investigations, such as blood tests and xrays, in one visit. Patients will then either attend for further assessment (via specialised radiology, renal bioposy, etc), or will return to the care of their GP with a written personalised care and management plan, depending on the stage of their kidney disease. Through education, Dr Fahal also aims to empower patients to be involved in their own care.
Before taking up his current appointment, Ibrahm Fahal gained considerable supervised experience in general medicine and nephrology, as well undertaking research and teaching during his time at the Univeristy of Liverpool and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
Dr Fahal is involved in medical education locally, nationally and internationally. He has organised numerous educational conferences both in the UK and abroad and is a frequent speaker at both the Arab and African Society of Nephrology conferences.
Dr Ibrahim Fahal's research interest is muscle weakness and fatigue in uraemic patients; he has published in this field, including an MD thesis at the University of London.
