About Ms Asma Sultana
Ms Asma Sultana is a Consultant Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic, and General Surgeon with a career rooted in both clinical excellence and innovative research. She qualified in Medicine and pursued a postgraduate degree in Surgery from JIPMER, Pondicherry, India, before completing her basic surgical training in the Mersey region. Ms Sultana then earned a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) from the University of Liverpool by coordinating two early-phase clinical trials and conducting a systematic review with meta-analyses of randomised clinical trials in advanced pancreatic cancer treatment. Her groundbreaking research earned her the prestigious Hirshberg Award for Best Abstract in Pancreatic Cancer from the American Pancreatic Association, as well as the President’s Prize for Best Oral Presentation at the British Society of Nuclear Medicine’s Annual Spring meeting, both in 2006.
She further honed her expertise during higher surgical training in the Mersey region, subspecialising in Hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) Surgery and serving as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer. Following this, she completed HPB with Liver Transplant Fellowships in Edinburgh, Adelaide, and Birmingham. As the HPB Clinical Reference Group Chair for Lancashire and South Cumbria, Ms Sultana collaborates closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure streamlined, high-quality patient care. Equally passionate about education, she serves as a Clinical Module Lead for Surgery for undergraduate medical education and as a Surgical Tutor for postgraduate training.

Asma has been absolutely brilliant from my very first consultation and throughout the entire journey. She listened so carefully to all my health concerns and took the time to understand everything I was experiencing. Her assessment was thorough, thoughtful, and never rushed.She completed every investigation and referral so promptly, making sure nothing was delayed. Throughout the process, she truly took care of me — not just medically, but emotionally too. She treated me with such kindness and softness, and always reassured me at every stage. Her calm manner and the way she explained things gave me so much confidence and eased a lot of my worry.I’m genuinely grateful for the way she supported me. Her professionalism, compassion, and the gentle way she handled everything made a difficult time feel much more manageable.
