His practice, both NHS and private, has attracted patients from throughout the region, seeking his experience and the best quality evidence-based opinions and treatments; since 2026, exclusively in private practice.

Dr Butt is a good listener and frank speaker, knowing the importance of engaging fully with the children, young people and families he sees, in a patient-centred practice. He works closely with like-minded multidisciplinary colleagues with emphasis on teamwork and use of best practice to deliver the best possible outcomes for patients.

This included, a clinical research fellowship at the Royal Free Hospital, London and postgraduate fellowship training programme at the University of Toronto, before being appointed to his UK consultant post in Brighton 2002.
