Professor Marc Moncrieff

I am a British-trained plastic surgeon specialising in all aspects of skin cancer surgery and reconstruction, including the new technique of sentinel lymph node biopsy for melanoma. I provide a specialist service for the diagnosis, removal and reconstruction of soft tissue tumours deep to the skin, both benign and malignant. I have a major specialist interest in head and neck reconstruction and provide a specialist service in the surgical management of facial paralysis.

I grew up in East Anglia and trained at Guy's Hospital in London. After my basic surgical training in Norwich, I undertook a doctorate, researching innovative diagnostic technology for analysing skin cancers, particularly melanoma. I was invited to present the results of this award-winning research at several influential international conferences. My specialist plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery training was based in Cambridge, Norwich, Chester, Liverpool and Sydney, Australia.

I was invited to undertake two prestigious fellowships at the Sydney Melanoma Unit and the Sydney Head & Neck Cancer Institute. Both units are internationally recognised as world leaders and here I was trained in several state-of-the-art techniques over a two-year period. These fellowships had a profound influence on my philosophy and practice and my intention is to offer these techniques to my patients in the UK.
