Mr Hassan is currently a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Institute of Neurological Sciences in Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. With more than 15 years of neurosurgical experience, Mr Hassan provides the highest quality of care to his patients.
His focus is on minimally invasive operations, and he always looks for ways to avoid surgical intervention whenever possible. Mr Hassan believes in an individualised approach to each patient and strives to achieve the best possible outcome for every patient. He takes the time to educate his patients on their conditions and the procedures, so they feel informed, comfortable, and confident.
Mr Hassan is passionate about medical education and is a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. He is involved in both under and postgraduate education. His current focus is on developing new technologies and innovations to improve medical and surgical education and training, with a particular interest in the use of artificial technology and augmented reality.
Having been invited to speak at national and international conferences, this has not only allowed Mr Hassan to share his research, experience, and insights with medical professionals around the world, but it’s also given him the chance to learn and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the field. In 2020, Mr Hassan founded the Glasgow Pituitary Conference – an international gathering of some of the most accomplished medical experts in the field from Scotland and across the globe.
Finally, Mr Hassan is the Codirector for the prestigious pituitary and skull base fellowship. This is a highly competitive programme for young neurosurgeons who have recently finished their training and have an interest in refining their skills in managing this complex group of patients.
