Mr Khan is a highly experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeon with an extensive career spanning more than two decades.
He completed his specialist plastic surgery training on the London rotation in the late 1990s, followed by prestigious fellowships in the USA and Australia. In 2002, he became a substantive NHS Consultant, initially working at Imperial College London before being appointed to Bristol in 2006.
