Dr Sarah Almond

Dr Sarah Almond is a highly accomplished Consultant Paediatric Surgeon and Clinical Director who specialises in providing comprehensive surgical care for infants, children, and young people. With a focus on reconstructive procedures rather than resections, she is dedicated to establishing functional anatomy that supports her patients as they grow from infancy into adulthood. Her reassuring and patient-centred approach ensures that families are fully supported throughout their healthcare journey, fostering long-term relationships built on trust and mutual understanding.

Her primary clinical expertise lies in lower gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery, with a particular interest in complex congenital conditions such as Hirschsprung's disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Dr Almond is highly skilled in performing delicate neonatal surgeries, reconstructive bowel procedures, and stoma creations. She works closely with multidisciplinary teams to manage challenging cases, including short bowel syndrome and other complex gastrointestinal disorders, ensuring that each child receives a tailored treatment plan designed to optimise their long-term quality of life.

Dr Almond holds a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in Paediatric Surgery, reflecting her advanced training and expertise in this highly specialised field. She is an active member of several prominent professional organisations, including the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS) and the United Kingdom Paediatric Colorectal Group. Alongside her clinical practice, she is deeply committed to medical education and clinical research, contributing to national consensus guidelines and pioneering studies aimed at developing innovative, less invasive treatments for neonatal bowel conditions.
