Professional statement

Mr Heman Joshi is a consultant general surgeon, with a sub-specialisation in colorectal surgery, whose NHS practice is based at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals Trust. He undertook advanced surgical training in London and Oxford and further sub-specialist training as an International Fellow in Robotic Surgery in South Korea.

He is a co-investigator on several clinical trials and was awarded a PhD for basic science research into pelvic floor dysfunction from the University of Oxford. He is accomplished in minimally invasive surgical techniques (e.g. key-hole, robot-assisted, single-port) which reduce post-operative pain and allow early return to normal activities.

Mr Joshi is a UK Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accredited endoscopist who performs upper and lower gastrointestinal procedures, including stoma reversal LIFT and VAAFT for anal fistula, as well as treatment for bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and incisional hernias. He is an accredited colonoscopist in the national Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. He is highly experienced and has performed over 1000 colonscopies in the last 2 years alone.

He is fully committed to undergraduate and postgraduate training at the University of Cambridge, supervising students and foundation doctors undertaking clinical research projects. He also currently holds the position of clinical lead for sepsis at Addenbrooke's Hospital and the clinical lead for endoscopy at Spire Lea Cambridge Hospital.

Mr Joshi is a member of several professional medical organisations, including The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) and The Society of American Gastrointestinal Surgeons (SAGES).
