Mr Sherif Monib

Mr Monib is a consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon in the West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which encompasses St Albans City Hospital, Watford General Hospital, and Hemel Hempstead Hospital.

He is an expert in the management of benign breast disease and breast cancer risk assessment and management, in addition to screen-detected and symptomatic breast cancer treatment using various image-guided oncoplastic and breast reconstruction techniques with excellent oncologic and aesthetic outcomes. In his NHS practice, he also undertakes a full range of breast ultrasound scanning, guided biopsies, and reporting.

Mr Monib’s special interests include breast health, breast cancer risk management and screening, as well as personalisation of breast cancer care using plastic surgery techniques to optimise cancer and aesthetic surgical outcomes. As Mr Monib is quite aware of the huge psychological and physical impact of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities on his patients, he has been commended on his ability to communicate empathetically and clearly with his patients to reassure them and navigate through personalised complex shared decision-making towards an excellent outcome. In addition, he provides support services that run in parallel with the traditional medical and surgical treatment modalities to try to alleviate the impact of the diagnosis and treatment.

As a core member of the St Albans Breast Unit multidisciplinary team in West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, he works closely with his medical and clinical oncology colleagues, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and other multidisciplinary team members to deliver excellent individualised patient care.

In addition to his NHS commitments, he is a General Medical Council Associate, Brunel Medical School examiner, Association of Breast Surgery Medical School Champion, and a Hand on Heart charity organisation member.
