About

In addition to his work as a consultant surgeon including his private practice, Mr Ghufoor currently works as the ENT Cancer Lead (Clinical Director) for University College London Hospital, Network Director for ENT services at Barts Health NHS Trust and Programme Director for Northeast Thames training.

Mr Khalid Ghufoor specialises in throat problems, sleep apnea and snoring, voice disorders and in tumors of the pharynx, larynx, thyroid and salivary glands. He is part of the multidisciplinary team at the Head and Neck Unit, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Conventional surgical techniques for tumors are supplemented by the endoscopic transoral laser technique, in which the carbon dioxide laser is used to extirpate cancers and a variety of other pathologies without needing to incise the neck.

Mr Khalid Ghufoor has set up the transoral robotic surgery (TORS) at the Royal London Hospital, the cutting edge technology being used allows for advanced tumor resections from the throat.
