I am an ENT / Thyroid Surgeon with an NHS practice at Wythenshawe Hospital. I am also the Clinical Director for theatres at Manchester Foundation Trust.
I have performed over 5,000 operations and regularly contribute to national audits with excellent outcomes.
I graduated from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford and commenced my surgical training in London, moving to Manchester as an ENT registrar from 2004 - 2011. I spent a year in 2010 in Adelaide, Australia on a prestigious international fellowship with Professor Simon Carney and Dr Sam Robinson where I was able to devote time to advanced rhinology training and developed my expertise in the surgical treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea.
I am passionate about teaching. I participate in regular audit and I regularly evaluate the outcome of my surgery. Every facet of my clinical work is underpinned by the desire to provide high-quality, safe healthcare and I hugely appreciate the feedback and testimonials that my patients provide.
I believe in conservative management ahead of surgery and in formulating a unique treatment plan for every patient based on both their disease and individual wishes and circumstances.

Q & A
Tinnitus: symptoms, causes and treatment
Mr Jonathan Hobson, Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon, says tinnitus is a noise that a sufferer can hear but no one else can. Tinnitus can last for minutes or up to several weeks, and some people suffer from it permanently. Mr Hobson recommends seeing a specialist for tinnitus management and treatment if it is affecting your sleep, affecting your job and generally causing you significant problems.
