Dr Karim Shoukrey

Consultant in Pain Management and Anaesthesia

MBBCh, FRCA, FFPMRCA


Specialises in

  • Chronic pain injections (muscular/nerve blocks/radiofrequency)

  • Fibromyalgia/Neuropathic pain/Headaches
  • Shoulder, hip, knee arthritic pain
  • Dr Shoukrey sees adults only

I currently hold a full-time consultant post in anaesthesia and pain management in the University Hospitals of Leicester. On a day to day basis I manage patients with chronic pain, with the intention of focusing on what matters most to each individual, as I understand that pain affects people in different ways. I am experienced in managing pain in different parts of the body.

As a consultant I have been performing a weekly injections list in Leicester General Hospital for the last seven years. My expertise as an anaesthetist enables me to be able to safely provide sedation for more anxious patients.

Together with a Consultant Gynaecologist and a Clinical Psychologist I run a specialised Multidisciplinary Pelvic pain Clinic in Leicester General Hospital.

My years of training in various hospitals throughout the UK have given me invaluable knowledge and experience. I obtained the Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine from Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge in 2012. I am also a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. My understanding of chronic pain and how it affects all aspects of people's lives has been cultivated over the years, and has led me to the appreciation and adoption of a multidisciplinary approach to pain management.

I am the Research Specialty Lead for anaesthesia, perioperative medicine and pain management for the East Midlands.
