Oliver Harley is a fully qualified, GMC registered specialist Plastic Surgeon with more than 20 years experience in Plastic Surgery. He specialises in Cosmetic Surgery and in Hand and Wrist Surgery. He is a full member of The British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), UK Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (UKAAPS-CAPSCO) and The British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH).
“I aim to provide a clear, honest and balanced patient-focussed approach in a supportive and sympathetic environment to enable patients to make the best choices about their treatment. Caring for patients in the early days and weeks after surgery is vital and I work in hospitals with an excellent standard of care and safety.”
After qualifying in medicine in 1998 at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London he has gained extensive experience in the field of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery since 2002. Mr Harley completed his higher surgical training at St Thomas’ Hospital (London), St Georges Hospital (London) and Queen Victoria Hospital (East Grinstead) and was awarded FRCSEd (Plastic Surgery) in 2009.
He added to his expertise by undertaking specialist training fellowships in Cosmetic Surgery (McIndoe Centre, East Grinstead 2010) and in Hand and Wrist Surgery (at Wrightington Hospital, Lancashire and Erasmus MC University Hospital, Rotterdam 2011-2012). He worked as a locum NHS consultant in plastic surgery in Plymouth, the John Radcliffe Hospital and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, and at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead between 2012 and 2015 before moving into full-time independent practice..
His passion and interest in Plastic Surgery has led Mr Harley to participate in charitable surgical missions to Africa and he has organised and tutored for the Royal College of Surgeons Plastic, Reconstuctive and Aesthetic course series. Involvement in clinical research, winning conference prizes for research projects in abdominoplasty and in finger joint replacements, has provided him with a deeper understanding of specialist topics.
Opting to have Plastic Surgery is a significant decision for people and Oliver adopts a patient focused approach to his practice:
"I enjoy listening to patients stories, questions and concerns and I aim to explain things clearly and simply with the help of pictures or diagrams. The modern age makes it easier to communicate and I am always happy to have ongoing dialogue with patients over the phone or email where appropriate."
Mr Harley practices at locations in Sussex and Surrey and his work is a mixture of Private Patient care and NHS choose and book / eReferral System cases.
