Shirjeel Chaudhry
Dr Chaudhry is a highly qualified consultant specialising in chronic pain management and anaesthetics. With 16 years of medical experience in Pakistan and the UK, he brings deep expertise and a compassionate approach to helping patients manage and improve their quality of life.
Biography
Dr Chaudhry completed his medical degree (MBBS) in 2008 from Riphah International University in Islamabad, Pakistan. After completing his early training in some of the busiest hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad—where he was recognised as an exemplary house officer—he was inspired by his father, also an anaesthetist, to specialise in this field.
Dr. Chaudhry undertook advanced anaesthesia training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, earning a prestigious fellowship (FCPS). He later moved to the UK, where he completed five years of structured anaesthetic training through the Warwickshire School of Anaesthesia and received his Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
His growing interest in helping patients with long-term pain conditions led him to pursue further specialisation in chronic pain medicine. He holds the Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine (FFPMRCA) and the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA). He also has advanced training in obstetric anaesthesia.
Dr. Chaudhry is also known for his approachable and empathetic manner. He believes in listening carefully, explaining clearly, and supporting his patients every step of the way.

Reviews
Blown away by Dr Chaudhry's help!
I've come away feeling so heard and validated. I'm so grateful for not being sent away with more painkillers.
Exceptional, patient, approachable, and thorough
My family and I cannot complement him enough for the way he discussed aspects of my father’s pain and what the solutions were. My parents understood Urdu and he spoke with them in Urdu to really help them understand.
Special thanks to Dr Shirjeel Chaudhry!
Wonderful to get such a clear explanation of the whole procedure and aftercare. Knowing what is happening lowered my stress levels hugely.
