About Mr Brian Fish
Mr Brian Fish graduated from Birmingham University Medical school. Having then passed his initial Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons exams he took a year to travel the world before returning to complete his surgical studies and become a Fellow of the College. He decided to specialise in Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery and undertook his registrar training in Liverpool working primarily at the three main teaching hospitals there, the Royal Liverpool Hospital, the renowned head and neck centre at Aintree and at Alder Hay Children' Hospital. He then undertook a Fellowship for a year at the Royal Brisbane and Womens' and Childrens' Hospital in Brisbane Australia.
Having completed his fellowship he secured a Consultant appointment at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge where he has now worked for 21 years. He set up and continues to run the Voice clinic with the speech therapy team and has been a core member of the thyroid and head and neck cancer multidisciplinary teams throughout this time. During this time the ENT department has taken over all of the thyroid and parathyroid surgery in the hospital and Mr Fish is a high volume surgeon who regularly performs in excess of 100 of each procedure per year.
Mr Fish was clinical director of the ENT department for 4 years and then clinical director for the business unit compromising ENT, Plastic and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Dermatology for a further 4 years. He is also an advisor to the Parliamentary Ombudsman for Health.
His current research interests are optimum imaging in parathyroid surgery and the genetics of thyroid cancer.
He is married with three children and a menagerie of pets to keep him busy at home. Away from work he enjoys skiing, tennis, windsurfing, mountain-biking, scuba-diving and foreign travel, preferably in combination and all with more enthusiasm than skill.

Mr Fish was great with my son from beginning to end, making him feel comfortable and ensuring he got the best care possible
Mr Fish has supported me for over 10 years and with great care.
Mr Fish and his team were professional, considerate and kept me informed. Efficiently took care of me and very attentive.
Mr Fish explained my procedure very clearly pre-operatively and the stapling of my pharyngeal pouch has had an excellent result. Should I ever need any further ENT surgery I would not consider consulting any other surgeon than Mr Fish.
Mr Fish was courteous, clear, and considered. He listened, provided clear explanations, and gave me the time needed. This, together with his obvious considerable experience, gave me complete confidence in his diagnosis, prognosis and recommendations.
Every part of the whole process was clearly explained and the procedure went to plan.
A very proficient and professional clinician.

The end-to-end care that I received from Mr Fish was outstanding. Clear communication throughout and successful surgery.
