I am a Consultant Plastic Surgeon, based at the internationally renowned St. Andrew’s Centre for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. My special interests include facial reconstruction following skin cancer surgery, breast surgery, complex hand and microsurgery and a full range of cosmetic surgery procedures.

I trained extensively in plastic surgery before becoming a Consultant in the NHS and developing a private practice in Essex and East London. I was the Clinical Tutor in plastic surgery for three years and am responsible for the training of Plastic Surgeons prior to their appointment as Consultants. I was a co-founder of the prestigious Mentor Cosmetic Fellowship, one of two such posts in the UK for the senior-most trainees in plastic surgery.

I am a member of several specialist professional bodies, including the British Association for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH), for which I am also an Examiner.

I have 15 years of experience in cosmetic surgery in the private sector and a well-established and busy cosmetic surgery practice in Essex, supported by a Practice Manager, a Clinical Nurse Specialist and three secretaries.

I welcome enquiries regarding my practice, consultations and clinic availability.

My name is Kathy Blackmore, I am a State Registered Nurse and Practice Manager to Mr Sood.

I qualified 30 years ago at Charing Cross Hospital in London and since then have continued to nurse in both the private sector and the National Health Service, predominantly in the fields of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

I have also served in Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps as a Nursing Officer, with postings to the QEMH in Woolwich and a four month tour in the BMH Falkland Islands.

I currently run the private practice of Mr MK Sood, overseeing the day to day running of the office, and being available to patients at all times, advising them on prospective procedures, and being here for them following surgery.

My name is Lucy Judd. I work part time in Mr Sood’s office, as I have two young children to look after. I have worked for Mr Sood for five years and thoroughly enjoy my job.

My role is to arrange clinic appointments, type clinical letters and book patients in for surgery.
