Below, you can read short biographies of some of our consultant trainers (and contact details for the consultants at each unit can be found at the bottom of the page)

Martin Heaton, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Training Programme Director

thumbnail_heaton-web_version-low_res.jpg

The head and neck unit at the NNUH performs an average of 100 free flaps per annum for reconstruction of a variety of defects following cancer extirpation and to mitigate the effects of prior treatment. The unit has a unique multidisciplinary approach to the specialty with maxillofacial, ENT and plastic surgeons working and interacting in a harmonious and mutually respectful manner. We have access to a range of adjuncts including CAD/CAM planning for mandibular/maxillary resection and reconstruction, implantable doppler monitoring, venous couplers and harmonic scalpel. Our ENT surgeons are looking forward to the delivery of a new robot later this year for transoral robotic surgery. At any one time two plastic surgery registrars work on the firm together with a recently appointed microsurgical fellow. The unit has been recognised for TIG training in head and neck surgery, and has a senior trainee in post.

 

Martin Heaton graduated from Nottingham University Medical School in 1992. Basic surgical training followed in the North West of England followed by two years of research into the development of reconstructed skin culminating in the award of an MD from the University of Sheffield. A number of locum registrar posts followed before appointment to the Trent Regional Training Scheme rotating through Nottingham, Leicester and Sheffield. After fellowships at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, Derby, The Royal Marsden Hospital and microsurgical fellow/senior registrar at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, South Australia, Martin was appointed locum consultant plastic surgeon in Leicester specialising in breast recontruction. In 2010 Martin was appointed a substantive consultant plastic surgeon at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where he was free to pursue his passion for head and neck and skin cancer surgery. Currently training programme director for plastic surgery in the East of England, Martin was recently appointed to the panel of examiners for the FRCS(PLAST) exam. When not wielding a scalpel Martin enjoys tending his bees, growing exotic plants, assembling computers, experimenting in his shed and attempting to keep three teenage offspring on the straight and narrow.

Keith Anderson, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Cambridge

Consultant in plastic surgery with a sub specialty interest in Lower limb/ extremity trauma reconstruction and skin cancer. I am also a member of our Bone infection multidisciplinary team which runs a monthly combined Orthopaedic/Infectious disease and Plastic surgery clinic. I completed plastic surgery training in the Mersey Deanery centred in Liverpool  and had additional registrar experience at Selly Oak Hospital, Brimingham and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Prior to starting Plastic Surgery training I completed Basic Surgical training whilst an Royal Army Medical Corps also completing 3 years with 23 Parachute Field Ambulance as a Medical Officer.

I have responsibility for supervising several trainees as approved educational supervisor and like to keep up to date with modern medical training practices and methods of assessment.  I am on the faculty of “The Cambridge Lower Limb Flap Course” and have a wide experience of teaching and training a diverse cohort.

Ian Grant, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Cambridge

ig2018.jpeg

 

My work at Addenbrooke’s is predominantly adult and children’s hand surgery.

I grew up in Eastbourne in East Sussex. I graduated from Oxford University in 1991 and trained as a plastic surgeon at hospitals in Salisbury, East Grinstead, London (Mount Vernon), Cambridge, Leeds, and Melbourne Australia. I carried out two years of laboratory research on wound healing at The Blonde McIndoe Centre and was awarded a DM from Oxford University. I undertook fellowship training that included hand, micro, peripheral nerve, and aesthetic surgery. I was appointed as a consultant plastic surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge in 2005.

Addenbrooke’s has been approved as a centre for TIG Interface training in hand surgery, and for the BSSH hand surgery diploma.

 

We receive our share of routine referrals but in addition have the challenges associated with tertiary referrals.

 

There are plenty of opportunities for a trainee to advance their expertise in hand surgery in Cambridge, we run regular day surgery and OPLA lists, X-ray meetings, journal club meetings, MDT (with the hand therapists), anatomy teaching, and audits.

Mat Griffiths, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford

mg.jpg

After leaving Portsmouth Grammar School and a gap year in Australia, I studied at Barts and The London  Medical School graduating in 1996. I then undertook house jobs and core training between The Royal London Hospital, Essex and St George's before undertaking a full-time 2 year MD at the Blizard institute. After a successful application to the PanThames rotation I worked at Chelmsford, Royal London and Imperial before spending time in New York and Munich. Fortunate enough to by awarded the McGregor Gold Medal in 2007, I then did an aesthetics fellowship at St Andrew’s before being appointed as a consultant there in 2009. 

 

At present we have 24 consultants 6 elective theatres, 4000 trauma cases, surpra-regional burns unit and all areas of plastic surgery apart from complex cranio-facial. 

 

I now am based in Chelmsford with a peripheral clinic in Colchester. My firm performs the usual general plastic commitments for skin cancer etc., but with a subspecialty in breast reconstruction microsurgery and lymphedema. I have introduced CT angiography, venous coupler and fluorescent angiography to the unit while raising funds for a limb measurement Perometer. 

 

I have a registrar and microsurgical fellow who have ample opportunity to perform  microsurgery procedures and will be taken through rib-sparing approach to IMAs, DIEP/MS-TRAMs, SIEA and TUG flaps. I am committed to encouraging WBAs and engagement with the ISCP process. In this unit, there is a strong ethos of teaching via weekly journal club and Thursday teaching plus supervision in theatre. In the region repatriated Chelmsford into the East of England, increasing the number of registrars to 31. We have re-organised the unit teaching, regional audit and introduced a comprehensive cadaveric teaching programme at the Evelyn Centre. 

 

Beyond work I feel this is a great area to live with access to excellent cycling, running and shooting venues plus excellent restaurants and country pubs. Families are well served with excellent schools and villages to live while being within 40 mins of London.

Linda Treharne, Consultant Cleft Surgeon, Cambridge

lindatreharne_7776.jpg

Cleft lip and palate is a small subspecialty; here at Addenbrooke’s we are one of only 9 cleft services in the UK and cover a large area of East Anglia and the East Midlands. You will have only 3 months’ attachment with us and there’s a lot to learn! We cover all aspects of cleft care within our MDT, from the time of antenatal diagnosis to adulthood and beyond. In the paediatric plastic surgery clinic you will see a range of common conditions such as pilomatrixoma, sebaceous naevus of Jadassohn, accessory auricles, vascular malformations and polydactyly.

 

I am the AES for cleft and paediatric plastic surgery and will oversee your education on the firm. Like many of my generation, my training has seen me travel far and wide – from Bristol to Newcastle, Wales to Rotterdam, Great Ormond Street to Birmingham Children’s Hospital and beyond; consequently, I have had the benefit of training under many plastic and cleft surgeons. Here at Addenbrooke’s I have a particular interest in primary cleft surgery, the management of patients with Pierre Robin Sequence and in all aspects of paediatric plastic surgery. I lead cleft MDT clinics in Peterborough, Kettering and Northampton as well as in Addenbrooke’s (and soon, the new Children’s Hospital.)
