About

It’s important to Mr Youssef that each patient is supported through their treatment journey, and that surgical options are discussed and offered when apt for the patient’s needs. Pre-pectoral implant reconstruction is of special interest to him and he led the auditing of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for this technique at his NHS base.

Alongside Mr Youssef’s expertise in his specialist practise, he is passionate about teaching and clinical research. He is an honorary lecturer at Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia, and a course tutor where he teaches breast reconstruction.

He regularly participates and presents in international and national meetings, and has co-authored various published articles in peer-reviewed journals focusing on surgical oncology, oncoplastic surgery techniques and patient-centred outcomes after breast reconstruction. Mr Youssef is also a member of various professional organisations including the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS), Association of Breast Surgeons of England and the British Association of Surgical Oncology alongside the European Society of Surgical Oncology, the European Board of Surgery and Association of Breast Surgery.
