Mr Alistair Slesser

Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Slesser holds a number of leadership and educational roles within the NHS. He is the Clinical Cancer Lead for his NHS Trust, a core member of the colorectal cancer MDT and a Medical Undergraduate Firm Lead for Imperial College London.

Mr Slesser maintains a strong interest in surgical innovation and collaboration, particularly in robotic and keyhole surgery. Most recently, he was involved in the first UK keyhole breast cancer flap mobilisation, working alongside plastic surgical colleagues from the Royal Free Hospital.

His practice combines specialist expertise in colorectal cancer surgery, robotic and keyhole techniques, endoscopy, complex hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction, with an emphasis on selecting the most appropriate surgical approach for each individual patient.
