2017, he was successfully appointed as a substantive consultant ENT surgeon at

training and dedicated his latter years of training into developing his skills
in the field of rhinology, facial-plastics and anterior skull base surgery. He
has gained a vital experience in both open and endoscopic anterior skull base

surgery, not least hearing loss, dizziness, tinnitus, voice disorders, throat
discomfort, snoring, sleep disorders, neck lumps and thyroid disorders. Since
his appointment into his current NHS post, he has pushed to develop the ENT

Between the years 2008 and 2011, he had taken time off his training to concentrate on
his research in the field of Molecular Oncology and Immunotherapy at Bart's
Cancer Institute. In 2014, his novel work in combining oncolytic virotherapy
and immunotherapy in the treatment of solid tumours was honoured by Queen
Mary’s University of London with a Doctorate of Philosophy degree (PhD) in the
field of molecular oncology and gene therapy. He has an on-going interest in this
field of research and currently involved in few clinical trials.
Mr Anwar, has published in peer-reviewed journals, and presented in international,
national and local academic meetings.
Community and GP clinics:
At Teddington Memorial Hospital, he runs a weekly outreach ENT clinic, focusing on
delivering a local and accessible ENT services to the local population,
including hearing assessment and hearing aid dispensing. At the same hospital,
he runs a monthly joint GP clinic, whereby two local GPs with specialist
interest in ENT would present him with patients they have reviewed previously
in their corresponding clinics and deemed necessary for a specialist opinion;
without the need for referral to secondary care centres.
Teaching and Training:
He has a specialist interest in training and teaching. Mr Anwar is the main
organiser of Bart's ENT training courses. Since 2007, he has organised 11 FESS
& Rhinoplasty courses, 11 Head and Neck dissection courses and 2 Temporal
bone dissection courses. He has helped set-up Bart's Introduction to ENT course,
aimed at junior trainees interested in joining a career in ENT.
These courses throughout the years have complemented ENT surgeons’ training and have
provided them the certification in order to achieve their competencies. Many of
them are now back to be faculty members of the courses, having been candidates
on these courses previously.
Charity work:
Mr Anwar is passionate about charity and medical aid. In 2016, he spent a month in
Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, whereby he was part of a
massive charity mission in the assessment and the rehabilitation of children
with hearing disability. During that mission, more than 2000 children were
assessed in various camps around Jordan and an excess of 500 hearing aids were dispensed
to those children. Local health authorities were trained to maintain those hearings
aids and a follow up visit is planned in 2018.
