Professional profile

Mr Tim Woolford is a Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon at the University Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Manchester Royal Infirmary where he treats patients with many different ear, nose and throat conditions.  Much of his time is now dedicated to specialist nose and ear plastic surgery.  Rhinoplasty (nose cosmetic surgery) and nasal septal surgery is performed for those who have cosmetic or nasal airway problems.  These problems may follow trauma or occur in patients who are referred to Mr Woolford with a complication of previous surgery.

A significant part of Mr Woolford's workload is dedicated to nasal reconstructive surgery for patients who have nasal skin cancer.  This is complex surgery which often requires several stages.  He also treats patients who have congenital or traumatic conditions of the pinna (external ear).

Mr Woolford is a Fellow of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, Chairman of the Academic Committee of The British Conference in Otolaryngology and a member of the Education & Training Committee of the British Association of Otolaryngology.  He is also an Intercollegiate Examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons and Editor of the Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Section of the Department of Health e-learning project.  He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Laryngology & Otology where he reviews articles and advises if they are suitable for publication.

Mr Woolford's interest in rhinology and nasal plastic surgery is reflected in invitations to lecture at meetings and teach on a number of national courses.  He is co-organiser of the Manchester/Liverpool Rhinology & Nasal Plastic Surgery Course.  He has also written numerous articles related to nasal surgery.
