Mr Matthew Ward is a highly esteemed Consultant ENT Surgeon at Portsmouth University Hospital NHS Trust (PHUT), where he has been serving since July 2018. He offers consultations for all aspects of ear, nose, and throat conditions, with a specialist interest in head and neck cancer, facial skin cancers, salivary gland disease, and thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
As the Lead Clinician for Head and Neck and Thyroid Cancer at PHUT, and the Clinical Lead for Head and Neck Cancer in the Wessex Cancer Alliance, Mr Ward plays a pivotal role in advancing patient care. He is also an active member of the PHU Joint Parathyroid Clinic, which annually treats over 150 patients with parathyroid disease. Dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes, he utilises the latest surgical technologies, including intraoperative nerve monitoring, parathyroid auto-fluorescence, and rapid access parathyroid hormone testing. Additionally, Mr Ward is trained in both transoral laser and transoral robotic surgery, having undergone specialised training with Dr Greg Weinstein in Philadelphia.
Driven by a passion for head and neck surgery, Mr Ward's decision to pursue ENT training was fueled by his fascination with the complex anatomy and technical challenges of the field. He thrives in the team-based environment of head and neck surgery, collaborating seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams to provide patient-centred care at the highest standards.

Mr Matthew Ward is professional, friendly, and reassuring in his patient interactions, making individuals feel at ease. Patients commend his surgical expertise in procedures like tonsillectomy, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, adenoidectomy, and thyroidectomy, often reporting life-changing results and improved quality of life. His clear explanations and thorough communication ensure a smooth, efficient process from initial consultation to full recovery. The care surrounding parathyroid conditions is particularly notable.
Parathyroidectomy at QA hospital. Successful operation with reduced parathyroid hormone and calcium levels. Felt more energised straight away. Good recovery - scar barely visible .
Mr Ward has been an excellent consultant throughout my journey, and I am so very pleased I made the decision to ask him to take over my care. He has been supportive, kind and understanding throughout and has put my mind at ease when my concerns were getting the better of me. I feel incredibly different post surgery, and an enlarged lymph node that I have had problems with for some while has finally reduced. I strongly believe that had I not had the surgery, this would not be the case. Mr Ward's willingness to act promptly, listen to my wishes and act on them has made all the difference to me and I will be ever grateful to him for this.
Mathew is very easy to speak to, explains things well, and you always feel he knows what he is doing and safe in his hands.
Really efficient, reassuring and knowledgable. Would definitely return in the future for any conditions like this
