Mr Hiren Patel

Mr Hiren Patel is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance. Holding a PhD and having completed a prestigious clinical lecturer post at Cambridge University, Mr Patel bridges the gap between academic research and frontline clinical care. He currently serves as a neurovascular surgeon at Salford Royal Hospital and maintains a significant academic presence as an honorary senior lecturer at the University of Manchester.

Mr Patel’s research has had a profound impact on British medicine. His observations published in The Lancet fundamentally changed the national standards for head injury management, and he led the transformation of how neuro-trauma care is delivered across Greater Manchester. He is currently one of the few specialists in the United Kingdom with the unique skill set to treat brain aneurysms using both traditional open surgical approaches and advanced endovascular techniques, ensuring his patients receive the most appropriate, tailored intervention available.

In addition to his clinical duties, Mr Patel is a key figure in national healthcare quality improvement. He established and currently manages the National SAH outcome database and serves as a vital member of the national team dedicated to improving recovery outcomes after brain haemorrhages.

When away from the operating theatre or the lecture hall, Hiren enjoys the outdoors with his wife and two energetic sons. He is an avid skier and spends his leisure time attempting to master the intricacies of tennis and golf.
