Mr Alfred Addison
Consultant ENT/Head and Neck Surgeon
BSc, MBBS, FRCS (ORL)
I am a Consultant ENT Surgeon specialising in Head and Neck, Thyroid, and Robotic Surgery. With extensive expertise in both cancer and non-cancer care, I provide advanced surgical management across the spectrum of head and neck conditions. I completed a subspecialist fellowship at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, Australia, where I trained in robotic surgery and complex laryngeal airway procedures. My practice integrates cutting-edge techniques with compassionate, patient-centred care.
I have completed over 5,000 operations with the majority being complex head and neck cases.
I enjoy teaching and training junior colleagues and other allied specialties. I teach regularly at the University of East Anglia. I am also a keen researcher and have published multiple papers and am currently involved in multiple research projects. I was awarded the Peter Rhys grant by the Oracle head and neck charity to further medical head and neck cancer education.
