Mr Andrew Swift
Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat & Rhinologist Surgeon
MB Chb, ChM, FRCS, FRCSEd
Specialises in
- Grommets insertion
- Sinus surgery
- Tonsillectomy
I am a Consultant ENT Surgeon with extensive experience in conditions affecting the nose, sinuses and sense of smell, as well as a broad range of general ENT problems.
I have a particular interest in nasal and sinus conditions, including nasal blockage, sinusitis, nasal polyps and tumours. Over many years, I have developed and refined techniques in endoscopic (keyhole) sinus surgery, helping to treat these conditions in a minimally invasive way where possible. My work has also contributed to advancing the use of these techniques in more complex cases, including surgery involving the tear ducts, eye socket and skull base.
I also specialise in disorders affecting the sense of smell, providing assessment and treatment for patients experiencing changes or loss of smell, which can significantly impact quality of life.
With over three decades of experience as a consultant, I regularly see patients with both straightforward and more complex or longstanding sinus problems, including those referred by other specialists.
Alongside my clinical work, I have held a number of national leadership and advisory roles within surgery and continue to contribute to education, training and maintaining standards in the specialty.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, as well as walking, photography and music.
I aim to provide clear explanations and practical treatment options, helping patients feel reassured and confident in their care.
