Professional statement

Mr Alan Woodward is a highly respected consultant general and colorectal surgeon with a subspeciality in laparoscopic surgery. Over the duration of his career, which spans over 20 years, he has acquired essential and outstanding skills and these have made him a leading consultant within his field. This repertoire of skill is used to perform his specialist procedures such as hernia surgery, including laparoscopic hernia surgery; colonoscopygallbladder surgery and haemorrhoid surgery. He is also a specialist in performing the Rafaelo procedure, which is a revolutionary, effective and fast treatment for haemorrhoids. 

He is dedicated to giving all his patients the highest quality of care possible. He treats patients of all ages; from young adults of over 16 years to all adults including the elderly. Among these patients are elite sportsmen and athletes for whom he has notable experience in groin repairs.

His training took place in Wales, Liverpool and in America. His extensive training lead him to become one of the few UK surgeons with the ability to perform a variety of hernia repair techniques, including hernia suture repair, which is a fitting alternative for patients who wish to avoid mesh. Furthermore, he developed groin hernia repair under local anaesthesia for those who cannot undergo general anaesthesia.

As well as his commitment to his patients, he has a strong commitment to research. In fact, Mr Woodward has one of the largest published series on inguinal hernia repair under local anaesthesia and he is widely published on ResearchGate. Furthermore, he devotes himself to the medical education of future surgeons. He is an honorary undergraduate lecturer in surgery at the Cardiff University Medical School and he is also an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons.
