Professional profile

Dr Surenthiran qualified at King’s College Hospital Medical School, London and did most of his postgraduate training in London and in Manchester, where he was also a Lecturer at the University of Manchester. He is one of the UK’s leading specialists in the treatment of balance disorders and has a national and international referral base, receiving referrals and seeing patients from across the UK and from around the world. He estimates he has seen patients from every continent. He set up the Balance Centre in the Neurosciences Unit at Medway Maritime Hospital which is widely recognised as a Centre of Excellence in the management of balance problems.

With regard to balance disorders, a study of 50 patients he has seen has shown that, on average, they had been unwell for 44 months before they saw him and in that time had seen at least 2 other hospital specialists (about 5 times) and their GP an average of 8 times. However, these same patients were, on average, 70% better 9 months after their first visit to him. He also diagnoses, quantifies and is able to recommend the most appropriate treatment / management for hearing loss and tinnitus.

Dr Surenthiran lectures regularly at national and international conferences and courses. He has organised in the past the Vestibular Rehabilitation Course (Basic and Advanced Parts) which was one of only two or three such courses of its kind world-wide and is on the Faculty of the Leicester Balance Course. He is actively involved in research and also works with the School of Psychology, University of Kent on a number of research studies which has already resulted in successful PhD and MSc submissions for members of the research team, journal articles and conference presentations. He regularly lectures and presents at national and internationally conferences, seminars and courses to doctors, allied health professionals and lawyers.
