His basic surgical training took place on the South Coast obtaining MRCS(Eng) in 2002. He undertook his higher surgical training in ENT, initially in the West Midlands before returning to London including spending a year training in tertiary level paediatrics at the Evelina Children’s Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.

Mr Moorthy is a high volume thyroid and parathyroid surgeon and until recently provided the service throughout Berkshire, as he was also an Honorary Consultant Surgeon at Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading.

He has led in developing a number of innovative advances in surgery. He undertook the first “scarless” thyroid and parathyroid procedures in the UK – Transoral Endoscopic Thyroid/Parathyroid Endoscopic Vestibular Approach. He now leads a course teaching other surgeons, as well as lecturing in the UKL and internationally.

For patients undergoing parotid gland surgery Mr Moorthy can utilise an approach hiding the scar behind the ear, rather than the larger neck scar commonly used.
