To further develop his subspecialist expertise, Mr Ahmed completed a prestigious Head and Neck Oncology Fellowship at University College London Hospitals (UCLH), one of the UK’s leading centres for head and neck cancer care.

In 2025, Mr Ahmed was appointed Consultant ENT, Head & Neck and Thyroid Surgeon at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.

His clinical practice encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of adult and paediatric ear, nose and throat conditions, with specialist interests in thyroid and parathyroid disease, neck lumps, salivary gland disorders, voice and laryngeal conditions, and head and neck cancer surgery.

Alongside his clinical work, Mr Ahmed is actively involved in research, education and surgical training. He has authored peer-reviewed publications, presented his work at national and international meetings, and regularly contributes to regional and national training programmes. His doctoral research focuses on surgical and functional outcomes following parathyroid surgery across different parathyroid gland disorders.

Growing up in a medical family inspired Mr Ahmed’s passion for healthcare and shaped his commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate patient care. He believes in building strong relationships with patients through clear communication, reassurance and shared decision-making, ensuring every patient feels informed and supported throughout their treatment journey.
