About me

Mr Alam completed his undergraduate and post graduate dental training (periodotology) in India in 1996 and then pursued his career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the United Kingdom.

In 2002, he obtained his medical degree from Leeds School of Medicine. He then successfully gained entry to Yorkshire School of Surgery, where he completed his postgraduate surgical training in orthopaedics, general surgery and plastic surgery before entering higher surgical training programme in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Mr Alam completed training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in 2010 in the North West of England. His keen interest in and passion for the management of patients with head and neck cancer encouraged him to apply for an Advanced Head & Neck Surgical Oncology Training Fellowship through national selection by the UK Joint Committee for Higher Surgical Training. He successfully completed his fellowship in the internationally-renowned Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead.

In order to widen his extensive skills, he gained further training in thyroid surgery under supervision of a well known ENT surgeon, whilst taking an appointment as an honorary fellow in otolaryngology in Maidstone Hospital, Kent. This enabled him to be an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who holds full membership with the British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons .

Mr Alam is currently a Consultant Maxillofacial/Head & Neck Surgeon at Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the lead clinician for head and neck oncology as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery, coordinating and delivering the service for patients in West Sussex.

He lives in West Sussex with his wife and children. He enjoys mountain biking, tennis and plays guitar for relaxation. He is also a keen cook who likes to try food from different parts of the world.
