Biography

Ansari Shayan currently working as a Consultant Head & Neck Surgeon in University Hospital Crosshouse, NHS Ayrshire & Arran, UK. Bulk of my practice includes management of benign and malignant head and neck diseases including sinonasal, thyroid, parathyroid, laryngeal and pharyngeal pathologies but I also enjoy management of general ENT conditions. I completed my Head & Neck / ENT training in West of Scotland. My interest has always been in Head & Neck surgical oncology and to achieve my specialist interest I spent some time working with Prof Fagan in Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa to learn surgical management of advance head and neck pathologies. I have also experience of working in Plastic Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Neurosurgery. My other interests include teaching and training of medical students, dental students, speech and language therapists, teachers and post-graduate doctors in various ENT disorders. I not only teach in various courses for this purpose but also organize various Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh endorsed courses. I have various academic publications on ENT and head and neck surgical topics especially patient reported outcomes measures. I am director and trustee for two UK charities (Postgraduate Education Group Scotland and Rawalians’ Association for Healthcare Improvement and Innovation) that work for improvement of health care and education in UK and developing countries. I have a special interest in information technology and health informatics. I am quite proficient in handling and maintaining online / standalone databases and networks. This helps me collect evidence for future research and management. I am also in a process of launching first dedicated Health Resource Portal for ENT / Head & Neck surgeons
