Dr Mamoun Ibrahim

Consultant Respiratory and General Physician with over 10 years of consultant experience across Germany and the United Kingdom. I completed my medical degree and specialist training in Internal and Respiratory Medicine in Germany before moving to the UK in 2014, where I have developed a senior NHS career and currently serve as Clinical Lead for Respiratory Medicine. My clinical interests include pleural disease, bronchoscopy, thoracic ultrasound, lung cancer and acute respiratory medicine. Born in Palestine and educated in the United Arab Emirates, with a brief period living in Jordan, I bring a broad international perspective and communicate fluently in Arabic, German and English. Outside medicine, I enjoy travelling, gardening and spending time with my family.
