Ms Hasnaa Ismail-Koch

I am a consultant Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeon with more than 25 years of experience treating both children and adults. My focus is on providing personalised care for patients dealing with various ENT conditions. I prioritise my patients and their families, putting them at the heart of all I do, actively listening to their concerns and involving them in the decision-making process to achieve the best outcomes. My goal is to ensure that every visit is both informative and supportive. I was raised in London with a deep passion for both art and science, which led me to move to Southampton to pursue a medical degree. I completed my higher surgical training in the Wessex and Oxford regions, gaining extensive experience in ear, nose and throat surgery for patients of all ages. My specialised training included time at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and an advanced fellowship at The Evelina London Children’s Hospital. I was awarded my fellowship in 2010. Throughout my training, I had the privilege of working alongside many renowned ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons.    Since 2012, I have served as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) consultant at University Hospital Southampton, providing both general paediatric and adult ENT services, as well as tertiary-level care for children, receiving referrals from across the country.  Over the years, I have performed thousands of procedures for both children and adults, including camera examinations of the ears, nose, and throat, ear wax removal, and treatments for nosebleeds. My practice offers a comprehensive range of outpatient services for all ages, as well as surgeries such as tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, grommet insertions, pinnaplasty, repairs for blocked noses, eardrums and sub-specialised children's ear, nose and throat issues. I am actively involved in national and international projects, focusing on developing training programs and guidelines. As the editor of the paediatric section for the journal ENT Masterclass, I collaborate with many global experts in the field of ENT. As part of the multidisciplinary team, I also contribute to the national effort on primary ciliary dyskinesia services for children and mentor aspiring surgeons. I co-developed an award-winning course for doctors managing children's airway conditions and played a key role in establishing the UK's first laryngeal reinnervation service for children. I take pride in sharing my work on a global scale and have published extensively in various medical journals. My contributions to the field have been recognised with awards, honouring my commitment to excellence and training junior doctors. With a strong passion for research, my collaboration with the Medical Research Council led to my earning a Doctor of Medicine degree. I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients and their families. Hasnaa Ismail-Koch BM, DLO, DM, FRCS ORL-HNS
