Mr Piyush Jani

I am married with two grown up children.  I am a member of St Andrew the Great Church, Cambridge where I am involved in student ministry and until recently served as the Church Warden.  I captained the university teams in hockey and cricket but now confine myself to a couple of runs a week, cycling and dog walking.  I am a trustee of two charities.

I retired from Cambridge University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Addenbrooke's Hospital in January 2023.  I was the senior ENT and Head & Neck Surgeon having worked there as a consultant for 24 years (1998-2023).  During that time, I was also Associate Lecturer and Curriculum Lead for the Medical School, Cambridge University. Recently I have taken up teaching positions at Kings College and Downing College, Cambridge University. I continue to practice in the private sector. I treat adults and children having dual specialist training in both Head & Neck surgery and Paediatric ENT surgery.  I trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Royal Marsden Hospital, Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, Guy's Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital before taking up a consultant position in Cambridge. My sub-specialist interests in Head & Neck Surgery include thyroid and parathyroid surgery, salivary gland disease, voice disorders, throat and swallowing problems and head and neck cancer.  I also offer treatments for a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions including nasal and sinus surgery. In Paediatric ENT surgery I treat patients with tonsil and adenoid pathology, sleep disorders, hearing difficulties, glue ear and grommet insertion, neck lumps such as thyroglossal cysts, branchial cysts, branchial fistulas and abnormal lymph nodes. During my consultant career I set up the Head & Neck Department at Addenbrooke's Hospital initiating and establishing the Multidisciplinary team meetings in head & neck cancer and thyroid cancer. I also opened the first Diagnostic Neck Lump clinic with same-day ultrasound and biopsy service at Addenbrooke's Hospital with Dr Lawrence Berman, Consultation Radiologist.
