About Mohamed Boshnaq
Personal Profile
Mr Mohamed Boshnaq is a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at Chaucer Hospital, Canterbury, and holds a substantive NHS Consultant post at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, where he is primarily based at Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate.
Mr Boshnaq specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of colorectal and general surgical conditions, with particular expertise in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. He is dedicated to delivering high-quality, personalised care and takes pride in helping patients feel informed, reassured and supported throughout their treatment journey.
After graduating from Ain Shams University in Cairo, one of the largest and most respected medical schools in the Middle East, Mr Boshnaq went on to complete extensive surgical training in the United Kingdom. During his higher surgical training, he worked across several leading hospitals in the South East of England and further advanced his specialist expertise as a Senior Colorectal Fellow at the prestigious Royal London Hospital, part of Barts Health NHS Trust.
Today, Mr Boshnaq cares for patients with a broad range of bowel, abdominal and general surgical conditions. He has a particular interest in colorectal cancer, providing expert assessment, investigation and surgical treatment, while working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure every patient receives coordinated and comprehensive care. He is equally passionate about bowel cancer prevention and early diagnosis, supporting patients through screening, investigation and treatment with empathy and clarity.
In addition to colorectal cancer surgery, Mr Boshnaq has extensive experience in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. He also offers specialist management of hernias, gallbladder problems and a variety of benign anorectal conditions such as haemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulas and pilonidal sinus disease.
Mr Boshnaq is highly skilled in advanced laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as “keyhole surgery”, which can help reduce post-operative discomfort, minimise scarring and support a quicker recovery where clinically appropriate. He is also experienced in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures, including colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy, which are vital tools in the investigation of bowel symptoms and digestive health concerns.
Patients frequently value Mr Boshnaq's calm and approachable manner. He understands that discussing bowel or colorectal symptoms can sometimes feel uncomfortable or worrying, and he believes in creating a welcoming environment where patients feel at ease asking questions and discussing their concerns openly. He is committed to providing clear explanations and ensuring that patients fully understand their diagnosis, treatment options and expected outcomes before making any decisions about their care.
Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Boshnaq remains actively involved in education, research and surgical innovation. He has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications and continues to contribute to research, clinical audit and service improvement projects. His commitment to maintaining the highest standards of surgical practice ensures that patients benefit from evidence-based care delivered using modern techniques and current best practice.
At Chaucer Hospital, Mr Boshnaq offers expert, compassionate care for patients with colorectal and general surgical conditions, combining surgical excellence with a genuine commitment to patient wellbeing and shared decision-making.
