Mr Jahangir Ahmed

“From restoring restful sleep to removing cancer with precision, I’m here to help you breathe easier, speak more clearly, swallow with ease, and live a longer, healthier life”

Mr Jahangir Ahmed is a consultant head and neck, sleep and airway surgeon with a reputation for clinical excellence, surgical precision, and deeply patient-centred care. Educated at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College School of Medicine, he graduated with distinction in 2001, receiving the Gold Medal in Pathology. He also holds an MA in Experimental Psychology from Cambridge and a PhD in Molecular Oncology from the Barts Cancer Institute, where his research contributed to the development of genetically optimised viruses for cancer immunotherapy.

Following extensive training at London’s most prestigious ENT hospitals, Mr Ahmed was appointed as a consultant at Barts Health and UCLH in 2017. He now serves as Clinical Lead for ENT at the Royal London Hospital and plays a central role in multidisciplinary teams for head and neck cancer and thyroid disease.

He offers advanced care across the full spectrum of ENT and head and neck conditions and is particularly sought after for his work in airway and sleep apnoea surgery. For patients suffering from snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), especially those who cannot tolerate CPAP, Mr Ahmed provides a range of cutting-edge surgical solutions. These include radiofrequency, coblation and laser procedures, as well as two of the most advanced treatments available in the UK: hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) implants and transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Both are minimally invasive approaches designed to restore natural breathing during sleep and reduce or eliminate the need for CPAP. Indeed, Mr Ahmed’s team has helped more than 75% of his CPAP-intolerant patients come off CPAP entirely, a life-changing result..

He is highly experienced in the management of nasal obstruction and sinus disease, which are often overlooked contributors to poor sleep and breathing. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, he safely treats chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and structural nasal blockages, helping patients breathe more freely and sleep more soundly.
Mr Ahmed manages benign and malignant throat and neck lumps, thyroid nodules, and salivary gland conditions, combining diagnostic accuracy with nerve-preserving, minimally invasive surgical techniques to optimise outcomes both functionally and cosmetically.

He also treats voice, swallowing, and laryngeal disorders, using a range of tools including laryngeal microsurgery, transoral laser techniques, and open airway reconstruction.

Alongside his clinical work, Mr Ahmed is deeply involved in education and innovation. He is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London and serves as education co-lead for ENT at Barts Health. He teaches surgical trainees, publishes widely, and regularly presents his clinical work at national and international meetings, ensuring his practice remains at the forefront of evidence-based care.

Known for his calm, thoughtful approach and clear communication, Mr Ahmed is trusted by patients and colleagues alike. He takes time to listen, explains treatment options clearly, and is consistently present and supportive throughout each patient’s journey, from diagnosis through recovery.

Whether you are seeking relief from snoring, blocked nose, sinusitis, sleep apnoea, or help with a voice problem, thyroid lump, or head and neck cancer, Mr Ahmed delivers expert care that blends the latest technology with deep compassion; all with one clear aim:
to help you breathe easier, speak clearly, swallow easily, and live a longer, healthier life.
