Mr Jason Fleming

Consultant Head & Neck Surgeon

MBBS, MEd, FRCS(ORL-HNS), PhD

I am a USA fellowship-trained academic surgeon, working in the NHS as a Consultant ENT/Head and Neck Surgeon at the Liverpool Head and Neck Centre. I have over 17 years' experience in treating diseases of the head and neck. My clinical practice is based at Aintree University Hospital, which includes a tertiary head and neck cancer service for the patients of St Helens, Knowsley, Whiston and Warrington.

Having graduated from higher surgical training in London and the South-East, including specialist placements at St George’s Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital, and a research secondment to defend a PhD in cancer sciences, I went on to complete an advanced head and neck surgical oncology Fellowship at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital. I then became the first UK trainee to be appointed to the prestigious Ablative and Reconstructive head and neck fellowship at University of Alabama (UAB, Birmingham, AL), where I received dedicated training in trans-oral robotic surgery at one of the early pioneering US centres for the technique.

As a surgeon scientist, I have an active role in the research and teaching activity of the University of Liverpool, and have been awarded over £2.5 million in research grants. I regularly present internationally on my clinical and research interests, am widely published in high impact specialty journals and have authored a number of textbook chapters. I am the Fellowship Director for the internationally renowned Shaun Jackson head and neck / thyroid fellowship in Liverpool, helping train the next generation of surgeons.

I specialise in all aspects of head and neck/thyroid surgery, and I regularly receive tertiary referrals from a wide catchment area in the North West for complex benign and malignant conditions. My clinical practice is primarily for adults with suspected or confirmed head and neck cancer, neck lumps, thyroid/parathyroid disease, salivary gland disorders and airway/voice issues. I also accept referrals for patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer from the UK or abroad, who require surgical oncology assessment and/or treatment, and wish a second opinion outside of the NHS.

I have particular expertise in trans-oral surgery (robotic/laser) and in 2024, I was the first head and neck surgeon in Europe to have performed cancer resections on the new da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic platform, as featured on ITV News.

I work closely with oncology colleagues to provide a fully comprehensive multidisciplinary service for patients with a new diagnosis of head and neck malignancy, and I am able to link with the regional Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) run out of Aintree University Hospital to ensure rapid cancer diagnostics and world-class care.

Please note that I do not consult on paediatric conditions, adult primary ear/dizziness symptoms, or chronic nasal conditions and will direct your request to an alternative otolaryngology specialist.
