Mr Paul Leeder
Consultant General and Upper Gastro-Intestinal Surgeon
MBChB, MD, PGDip Med Ed, FRCS (Gen Surg)
Specialises in
- Hernia surgery
- Gallstone removal
- Gallbladder removal
I am a Consultant General Laparoscopic Surgeon with an interest in Upper GI, Cancer and Bariatric (weight loss) surgery. My specialist practice includes laparoscopic hernia, reflux and gallbladder surgery.
Since qualifying as a doctor in 1989, my specialist surgical training has taken me from Nottingham to Leeds and Oxford. I was awarded a prestigious fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery at The Royal Adelaide Hospital, before taking up my consultant post in Derby in 2002.
I have been committed to building a specialist laparoscopic service in The East Midlands, for both NHS and private patients. I currently perform over 300 laparoscopic procedures per year, with nationally published outcomes.
I established the first bariatric (weight loss) surgery service in the East Midlands in 2004 and work closely with a strong team at the East Midlands Bariatric and Metabolic Institute (EMBMI) to ensure we provide world class service and outcomes. We strive to ensure the same high standard of care in both the NHS and private sector.
I am passionate about ensuring the appropriate skills are passed on to the next generation of surgeons. I have developed and regularly run laparoscopic courses both regionally and nationally and hold a national role as Director of Education for The Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons. I have recently completed a Diploma in Medical Education with distinction and am a member of The Faculty of Surgical Trainers.
