Paul Herbert is a Consultant Surgeon at both the Imperial College NHS Trust and The Whiteley Clinic. In addition to these roles, Paul is also the Director of Clinical Studies for the Hammersmith site and Surgical Lead for the transplant and access surgical group.

Qualifications

He qualified from Charing Cross medical school (part of Imperial) in 1997 and trained in general, vascular and transplantation. During his training, Paul Herbert also undertook a PhD in transplantation biology and has published widely. Whilst Paul had trained in vascular surgery, he gained a keen interest in venous surgery. Many people struggle with varicose veins and the consequences that can occur should one not treat their venous conditions can include skin changes, venous eczema and even leg ulcers. All of these are usually treatable with modern techniques and following The Whiteley Protocol.
