Over
Mr Alan Woodward is a consultant general and colorectal surgeon with over 25 years of experience. He was trained in Wales, Liverpool and the United States, and was appointed as a consultant in 1995. He was previously based at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant. His clinical interests include hernia surgery, colorectal disease, and surgery for gallbladder conditions.
Fifteen years ago, Mr Woodward founded the Cardiff Hernia Clinic Ltd, and a significant proportion of his current practice involves both routine and complex hernia repair. His broad surgical training has resulted in expertise across a wide range of hernia repair techniques, including suture repair for patients who wish to avoid mesh. He has also developed groin hernia repair under local anaesthesia, particularly for elderly patients or those who may not be suitable for general anaesthesia, and has published one of the largest case series in the UK on inguinal hernia repair performed under local anaesthetic. He has additional experience in managing groin hernias in sportspeople, including elite athletes.
Alongside his surgical practice, Mr Woodward has a strong academic background. He has published extensively and he has been consistently recognised as the most widely published researcher at Cwm Taf University Health Board. He is also committed to medical education and holds the position of Honorary Undergraduate Lecturer in Surgery at Cardiff University Medical School. In addition, he serves as an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons.
As an experienced colorectal surgeon who performs colonoscopy, Mr Woodward places particular emphasis on the early detection of bowel cancer as a key factor in improving patient outcomes and survival.
