Mr Ahmed Khalil

My name is Ahmed Khalil. I'm a Consultant of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I have a special interest in preterm delivery and foetal medicine. But I also do a wide range of gynaecology, including menstrual irregularities, hormone replacement therapy for menopause and laparoscopic surgeries.

So, I graduated from Egypt, and I've done my most of my training in Egypt. I've got a Master's degree and doctorate degree from there. Then I came here to the UK as part of the MTI. I finished the training here also and became a consultant. During that time, I've done also a degree from Harvard Medical School and I’m Harvard Medical School alumni. I'm a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians. And now I'm the MTI officer in the Royal College. I also have a lot of experience with teaching; I teach medical students for King’s and the Kent and Medway school.

So, I've always had an interest in women’s health, and I wanted to have an impact on their life. Childbirth is a monumental moment in one's life and to be able to share this moment with the family and care for the baby during pregnancy - and then after this - is very exceptional. And then after that, again it’s good to have the continuity of care, to care for the woman before and after getting pregnant - so up to the menopause. So, you feel that you are there throughout their whole life.

So, I always like the holistic approach with patient care. It's very important to educate the patient and I share with them my thought process. So, we are there, this is the problem, these is the possible solutions. We are discussing these cares together.

It's very important to educate, have a look. Every patient is unique and different, and everyone has different circumstances. So, you have to put all this into consideration to get the best outcome.

So, I like the institute and like the state-of-the-art infrastructure. I had one patient come and say “I'm not scared of the hospital. This doesn't have the hospital smell.”

It's a very fancy, a very nice place and you have all the facilities, you have a very good team. Everyone is here for the same reason: to give the best care for the patient.

I'm very passionate about football and about major events. So, I volunteer a lot in major events. I've been sharing the volunteering in the Olympics and in the World Cup. I've been a couple of times also. I volunteer with my kids in health care projects back in Egypt, in Africa. Again, we were part of the polio vaccination in Africa. So, I have that. But travelling, I enjoy traveling, enjoy knowing different cultures and trying their food.
