About Dr Paul Cervi

Dr. Paul Cervi is a highly distinguished Consultant Haematologist with over three decades of professional experience in the field of clinical and laboratory haematology. He qualified from Trinity College, University of Dublin in 1984 and went on to complete his specialist training at University College Hospital London.  He was appointed Consultant Haematologist to Basildon Hospital in 1996 and transferred to Southend Hospital in 2012, where he remains as an Emeritus Consultant Haematologist.

Throughout his extensive career, he has held senior leadership positions, including serving as a Head of Department and a Clinical Director for Diagnostics and Therapeutics. He has clinical expertise in managing malignant haematological conditions, with experience in lymphoma, myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.  I am happy to provide second opinions on patients already managed in the NHS, and offer professional validation or commentary of AI-generated advice. 

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Cervi has made significant contributions to medical research and innovation. He was awarded the National Bronze Merit Clinical Excellence award in 2009 in recognition of his high standard of patient care and professional achievement.

He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and a Member of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. Dr Cervi is dedicated to personalised care, emphasising communication with his patients to treat each individual’s needs.

Qualifications

Following Specialist Registrar training at University College Hospital London (1989-1995),  I  worked as a  Consultant haematologist in Basildon Hospital (1996-2012);  I then transferred as Head of the Haematololgy Department to Southend Hospital (2012-2026) and semi-retired from the NHS in 2025.  I spent 3 years from 2015 to 2018 as Clinical Director for pathology and radiology services.  I am currently retained as an Emeritus Consultant Haematologist by Southend Hospital, part of MSE NHS Foundation Trust and I provide private patients' services to Brentwood Nuffield Hospital, Brentwood, and Spire Wellesley Hospital Southend.

With over 30 years' experience in Clinical Haematology at consultant level, I have managed all-comers.  In general medical haematology, I am happy to consult on simple iron- or Vitamin B12-deficiency anaemias and iron overload conditions.  I have a large practice advising on the risk assessment, investigation and management of patients experiencing thrombosis.   In recent years, I have specialised in the management of malignant haematology conditions, such as lymphoma and myeloma, and provide chemotherapy services through the Spire Wellesley Hospital, or home chemotherapy delivery with Sciensus.  I am happy to provide second opinions on patients already managed in the NHS, and offer professional validation or commentary of AI-generated advice.

I have been seeing Dr. Cervi since 2021, and throughout that time he has consistently been outstanding. He is always professional, calm, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I fully understand my options. What I value most is that he genuinely listens. He takes the time to understand my concerns and preferences, and works collaboratively with me to agree on the best course of action. It is clear that his priority is always providing the best possible care for his patients. Dr. Cervi is also incredibly respectful, approachable, and never makes me feel rushed during appointments. When a referral is needed, he has an excellent network of highly skilled specialists and consistently recommends doctors of the highest calibre, giving me complete confidence that I am in the best hands. I would highly recommend Dr. Cervi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly professional doctor. His expertise, patient centred approach, and commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare make him one of the best clinicians I have had the pleasure of being treated by. .
