About

Mr Peyman Alam is a highly accomplished consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at both Nuffield Health and St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. He has experience in thyroid and parathyroid surgery as well as management of head and neck cancer and reconstruction using microvascular techniques. He also has vast experience in the management of salivary gland disease and skin cancer.

After completion of undergraduate and post graduate dental degrees, Mr Alam gained his primary medical qualification from Leeds School of Medicine in 2002 and was fully registered to practice the following year. He continued his studies at Yorkshire School of Surgery, where he undertook basic surgical training in general surgery, orthopaedics and plastic surgery. Mr Alam completed higher surgical training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in 2010 in the North West of England. His keen interest and passion for the management of patients with head and neck cancer encouraged him to apply for the Advanced Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Training Fellowship through national selection by the UK Joint Committee for Higher Surgical Training. He successfully completed his fellowship in the internationally-renowned Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead. 

Mr Alam widened his extensive skills by gaining further training in thyroid surgery under supervision of a well-known ENT surgeon, whilst taking an appointment as an honorary fellow in otolaryngology at Maidstone Hospital, Kent. This enabled him to be an oral and maxillofacial who holds full membership with the British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons of England. 

Mr Alam is currently a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust and is the lead clinician for head and neck oncology as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester. He also holds an honorary consultant head and neck surgery post at Queen Alexander Hospital, Portsmouth where he performs his major head and neck cancer surgery.
