Samit Unadkat is a fellowship trained consultant rhinologist, facial plastic and ENT surgeon. He won the Dr Harold Edwards scholarship to read medicine at Imperial College London and has undertaken his foundation, basic and higher surgical training in London. He was ranked second place nationally to secure a place on the North Thames ENT surgical training programme and has completed with his training at various centres of excellence including The Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital, Charing Cross Hospital and St Bartholomew's & The Royal London Hospitals.
