Fausto is one of the UK’s leading specialised endocrine surgeons with an international reputation based in London.
Since 2005 I have had the privilege of continuing the tradition of the UK's first endocrine surgery department founded at Hammersmith Hospital in 1970. Since 2006 I have held the position of clinical lead consultant in endocrine surgery at the Hammersmith Hospital NHS Trust and practice only thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery. I have a personally performed over 4000 endocrine surgery operations including over 350 thyroidectomies, parathyroidectomies and adrenalectomies in 2017 alone. I qualified in medicine in 1992 & trained in general surgery initially on the Cambridge rotation and later on the North East London rotation. I become a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1997 and undertook 2 years as research fellow at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London for which I was awarded a Master of Surgery by the University of London for my thesis on autoimmune thyroid disease. I undertook three years of specialist endocrine surgery training in Oxford, Sydney (Australia) and Marseille (France) and have the intercollegiate FRCS qualification with Endocrine Surgery as a nominated subspecialty. In 2005 I took my current post as consultant endocrine surgeon at Hammersmith Hospital continuing a departmental tradition for excellence that commenced in 1970. My clinical practice in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery is amongst the largest in the UK. I teach and lecture nationally and internationally and in addition to book chapters and roles in formulating national and international guidelines I have published over 100 peer reviewed scientific papers on all aspects of endocrine surgery.
