Raising the Standard in Surgical Cancer Care
Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon
Dr Hud Shaker is a UK-based Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon specialising in breast cancer surgery and reconstruction across Cheshire and Merseyside in both NHS and private practice. With over 20 years of clinical experience, he is known for a patient-centred approach that combines oncological precision with modern oncoplastic techniques to achieve oncologically safe and aesthetically optimised outcomes.
Clinical Practice and Expertise
His practice spans the full range of breast cancer care, including breast-conserving surgery, implant-based reconstruction, risk-reducing procedures, and advanced oncoplastic techniques such as mammoplasty and local flap reconstruction. He focuses on achieving the best possible cancer outcomes while also restoring shape and symmetry, helping patients feel more confident after surgery. His approach is grounded in careful clinical judgement, clear communication, and tailoring each treatment plan to the individual.
Training and Professional Development
Dr Hud completed his surgical training in the UK, followed by a nationally recognised TIG Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Fellowship in the Mersey region. He further developed his expertise through an international observership at the University Hospital Sant’Andrea in Rome, where he gained experience in advanced reconstructive techniques including implant-based reconstruction, therapeutic mammoplasty, and lipofilling. This combination of UK and international training has shaped a broad and modern approach to oncoplastic breast surgery.

Expertise and Approach
With a PhD in breast cancer and formal coaching training, he combines clinical insight with practical, evidence-based strategies. His approach helps women cut through misinformation, understand what truly impacts their health, and make informed decisions about their recovery. Rather than overwhelming patients, he focuses on simple, sustainable actions that can be built into daily life.

His coaching centres on key pillars of recovery, including strength training, nutrition, metabolic health, and building consistent habits.
