About Dr Panicos Shangaris

If you are facing a high-risk or complex pregnancy, have received an unexpected scan result, or want specialist support before or during pregnancy, I am here to help. I am a Consultant Obstetrician and Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) subspecialist with over 20 years of clinical experience, and I hold a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship and a PhD in Fetal Medicine.

High-Risk and Complex Pregnancies

I specialise in managing pregnancies where there is significant medical complexity, including pre-existing conditions, multiple pregnancy, previous pregnancy loss, or an unexpected diagnosis during pregnancy. My aim is to give you clear information, a plan you understand, and the specialist oversight your pregnancy needs.

Fetal Diagnostics and Prenatal Testing

I offer the full range of specialist fetal diagnostic services, including NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing), amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), detailed anomaly scanning, and expert counselling around abnormal findings. My practice is built on giving families the clearest possible picture of their baby's health and the options available to them.

Preterm Birth Prevention

Preventing preterm birth is an area in which I have both deep clinical experience and active research involvement. I lead work in cervical length surveillance, progesterone therapy, and cervical cerclage and I apply the latest evidence directly to individual patient care. If you have had a previous preterm birth or late miscarriage, I can assess your risk and design a personalised prevention strategy.

Preconception Counselling

I offer preconception counselling for women planning a pregnancy, particularly those preparing for IVF, those with a history of pregnancy complications, or those with medical conditions that may affect pregnancy. A comprehensive consultation at this stage allows us to identify risks, arrange any relevant investigations, and give you the best possible start.

Academic and Research Leadership

I hold a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship, one of the most prestigious research awards in UK medicine, and a PhD in Fetal Medicine from King's College London. I also hold an MSc with Distinction in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine from UCL, and I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. My research background directly informs my clinical practice, ensuring my patients benefit from the most current evidence.

I practise at the Portland Hospital and Central Health London, and offer both in-person and video consultations. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, specialist prenatal testing, or continuity of care through a complex pregnancy, I would be glad to see you.

I was an international patient of Dr. Panicos, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our very first consultation to my final check-up before I left London, he was always professional, caring, and reassuring. He was incredibly responsive: you could text or email him and he'd usually get back to you within a few hours at most. He even helped me plan my move to London and recommended excellent at-home midwife services, which made the first month after delivery so much easier. After I developed high blood pressure, he also put me in touch with a separate team of doctors who managed my care. Knowing he had coordinated everything gave me a lot of confidence during this stressful time. My dad accompanied me to the hospital but doesn't speak English, and even he said Dr. Panicos came across as a genuinely kind and sincere person. He was absolutely right. I'm very grateful for the care and support I received and would recommend Dr. Panicos without hesitation.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr.Shangaris and the care I received throughout my pregnancy and labour. From the very beginning, he was incredibly supportive and reassuring during every appointment. He always took the time to answer my questions (even after working hours), explain everything clearly, and make me feel confident and cared for. During labour, their professionalism and calm presence made an enormous difference. He and his team handled everything with such skill and compassion, ensuring both my baby and I were safe and well looked after. I truly felt that I was in the best possible hands during one of the most important moments of my life. I’m so grateful for the dedication, kindness, and expertise he showed throughout the entire journey. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience feel supported and positive. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional maternity care.

The greatest challenge for ageing populations is that vaccines can be less protective for the elderly due to the age-related decline of the immune system. This means that improving the efficacy of vaccines in the ageing population is crucial to public health.
