Academic Background
Dr. Fasihul Khan is a leading Consultant Respiratory Physician providing expert care for all respiratory conditions, including Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), asthma, COPD, lung infections, bronchiectasis, and sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). He also assesses patients with breathlessness, chronic cough, and unexplained respiratory symptoms, ensuring timely and accurate diagnosis through rapid access to specialist investigations, including CT scans, lung function testing, bronchoscopy, and sleep studies.
Dr. Khan is a recognised specialist in ILD and leads the specialist ILD service at Glenfield Hospital, receiving referrals from across the region. He diagnoses and manages conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, connective tissue disease-related lung disease, and environmental/inhalational lung disease. As an approved prescriber of specialised anti-fibrotic therapies, he ensures patients have access to the latest treatment options.
Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Khan is an active contributor to respiratory medicine at both national and international levels. He is a recent former member of the British Thoracic Society’s ILD Specialist Advisory Group, where he played a key role in shaping patient care standards across the UK. His commitment to advancing ILD research led him to complete a PhD focused on predicting survival in ILD patients. His work has been published in leading respiratory journals, and he has presented his findings at international conferences, earning recognition and awards for his contributions. He continues to collaborate on national and international research projects, exploring innovative approaches to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring ILD patients.
Dr. Khan is also a passionate educator, regularly delivering lectures and training to general practitioners, hospital doctors, and medical students. He holds a postgraduate certificate in medical education, ensuring his teaching remains engaging and effective for the next generation of medical professionals.
Dr. Khan’s multilingual abilities, including fluency in Hindi and Urdu and an understanding of Gujarati and Punjabi, enable him to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population, ensuring personalised and culturally sensitive care. He is frequently sought after for second opinions, particularly for complex or unexplained respiratory symptoms, providing clarity and reassurance to patients and referring clinicians alike.
