Mr Sunil Amonkar
Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon
MB BS, FRCS (Ed), Cert Ed
I graduated from Newcastle University in 2001 and trained in the North East specialising in breast and reconstructive surgery. I was then selected to a national advanced Training Interface Group reconstructive & cosmetic fellowship at the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals where I learned additional techniques in surgery and enhancing patient care.
I commenced Consultant practice in 2013 at Northumbria Healthcare NHS trust. I was appointed as a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon at Gateshead Health NHS trust in 2016 where I now practice exclusively in breast and reconstructive surgery. I have a busy NHS and private practice having treated over two thousand cases and have shared my expertise with patients and cancer support groups.
I am actively involved in research being a Principal Investigator for studies run through the National Institute for Health and Care Research. I have supported numerous clinical trials ensuring I keep up to date with medical evidence and best clinical practice. I am enthusiastic about education, being a surgical lead for medical students, an examiner for Newcastle Medical School and a faculty tutor for surgical trainees. I attained a formal post graduate qualification in Medical Education (PGCME) from Newcastle University.
I completed a Masters of Business Administration (MBA with Merit) from Sunderland University with a focus on healthcare management. I actively listen to patient feedback striving to further improve patient experience.
I specialise in the assessment and management of breast cancer and all benign conditions.
