Dr Keith Duncan is a highly regarded expert and leading consultant obstetrician in London. With over 30 years' experience, Dr Duncan has delivered more than 4,000 babies both in the NHS and as one of Europe's top private obstetricians. His areas of expertise include childbirth, caesarean, antenatal care, multiple pregnancies, ultrasound and high-risk pregnancies.
Dr Duncan graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MB ChB) from Leeds University. He went on to undertake training in the North of England before relocating to London for his specialist training in maternal and foetal medicine. In 2001, he was awarded accreditation as a sub-specialist in maternal and fetal medicine. From 2003 until recently he held his NHS role as Consultant in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
He has now left the NHS to concentrate on his new project Dr Duncan Birth, delivering at The Portland Hospital and consulting and scanning on Harley St. Dr. Duncan is also now offering online consultations to serve patients beyond London.
His personable and calm approach has gained him the reputation as a first-class practitioner in multiple and high-risk birth situations, as well as a holistic approach to low-risk birth. He is renowned for his hands-on approach, down-to-earth manner and meticulous attention to detail, making him a popular choice with both first-time mothers and a loyal following of repeat patients. He is a strong supporter of personal choice in childbirth and listening to the individual needs and wishes of each patient. Whether it's water births, caesareans or hypno-birthing, his philosophy is to provide a positive birth experience for all parents to be.
As a member of the British Maternal Fetal Medicine Society, for over 10 years, Dr Duncan served as the representative for London and the South West at the prestigious Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists taking an active interest in global women's health.

I had a really positive experience with Dr Duncan. He was always kind, professional, and took the time to clearly explain my baby’s development at every appointment, which gave me a lot of reassurance! I felt well cared for throughout and would happily be under his care again in a future pregnancy. I highly recommend him!
Dr Duncan is always extremely professional and available to answer any questions or address concerns.
We used Dr Duncan for my second pregnancy, after a recommendation from a friend, and had a fantastic experience throughout. It was incredibly helpful that Dr Duncan was able to provide all of the scans himself, as well as accommodate appointments in different clinics (this really suited our schedules!). We opted for an elective c section and the recovery under Dr Duncan’s care has been great. Would highly recommend.
Im so glad you were happy. I like to have different options for patients re clinics as it often helps
Dr Duncan enhanced our whole pregnancy experience with his meticulous care and consideration throughout our various appointments.
Im glad you had such a positive experience
Keith supported me through my first pregnancy and elective c-section, having been strongly recommended by a friend. I really appreciated how accessible and responsive Keith was throughout - he would reply within minutes to any WhatsApp messages, validated any concerns and offered scans etc at short notice to allay any anxiety. Keith was also patient as I considered which type of birth to pursue and helped me weigh up the pros and cons of the different options. I felt confident trusting his guidance given his wealth of experience and insightful advice. My recovery from the c-section was much better than expected and I believe that is largely due to Keith’s expertise and surgical skill. Other doctors and midwives expressed surprise at how well and how quickly my scar healed and my mobility returned very promptly with minimal pain. Keith was also as attentive post-op as he was during pregnancy. It’s worth mentioning that Keith’s secretary, Colette, is also very responsive, efficient, kind and empathetic. A big thanks to them both for such a seamless experience.
Im so pleased you had such a positive experience and you found me to be readily accessible. Im so please you recovered so well.
