About Dr Alan Shaw
I qualified in 2004, having studied at the University of Cambridge, and University College London. I trained as a specialist in Respiratory Medicine and General Internal Medicine, predominantly in London hospitals, qualifying as a consultant in 2017 and taking up a Consultant Physician position at the Whittington Hospital, where I carry out my NHS practice.
I hold Honorary positions at UCLH, for my Lung Cancer work, and at UCL for my teaching.
I am active in research, and hold Principal Investigator posts in a number of studies.
Throughout my career, my approach to medicine has been to form a partnership with patients to understand the underlying cause of their symptoms, and provide treatment and monitoring to a greater or lesser extent depending on the patient's preferences.
My approach to diagnosis is grounded in comprehensive history taking, examination skills and judicious use of investigations.
There is an increasing range of potential treatments in respiratory medicine. My role is to lay out the options for patients and give the benefit of my experience in making the right choice for every individual.

Reviews
My recent visit with the doctor was very positive. He took the time to go through the procedures, scans, and tests I had previously undergone and explained the results and available options clearly. He showed genuine interest in helping me understand my situation, particularly regarding my lungs and feet, and made sure I felt informed about my condition and treatment. He also prescribed medication that has been helping me significantly. I really appreciate the time, care, and attention he gave me during the consultation. I think he is a great doctor and I am very pleased with the support and treatment I received.
Thank you so very much for your kind review. I am pleased that you are happy with the care you received and the medication is working for you.

Dr Alan Shaw was extremely helpful. I was anxious about the results of my CT scan, but he explained clearly about the results and showed it , as well as discussing the next step in my treatment. He was non judgmental and made me feel more positive about what I should do to help manage my lifestyle.
