John Phillips is a consultant ENT surgeon working at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. John trained at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London and was awarded a degree in Neuroscience at University College London. John took up his consultant position in Norwich after completing a fellowship in Otology and Neurotology at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. John's primary aim is to provide the highest quality of care for his patients. For this, he considers that a keen enquiry into the evidence for how we practice medicine is essential; his many and varied academic pursuits have been key to achieving this goal.Sally Erskine has a strong academic background in ENT, and has many international publications and prizes. Sally completed her medical training at Sheffield University, followed by an academic clinical fellowship in ENT, and has recently been awarded an MD from the University of East Anglia for her work into the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis. Sally is currently training to become a GP whilst continuing her clinical ENT practice. Sally is particularly interested in understanding quality of life outcomes and the psychological impact of symptoms, and in using this understanding to propose and investigate new pathways of care.
