Mr Hyam is a Consultant Craniofacial, Brain & Comprehensive Spinal Neurosurgeon at the world-renowned National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square. He has been a vital part of the UCLH Adult Craniofacial multidisciplinary service since his appointment, collaborating with specialists in maxillofacial, plastics, and ENT surgery to reconstruct head shape and deformities following surgery, injury, or in syndromic conditions.
Mr Hyam's specialist expertise includes craniofacial reconstruction and cranioplastic surgery, the treatment of tumours such as meningioma, and gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery for tumours, trigeminal neuralgia, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. He is also highly skilled in treating spinal stenosis and disc prolapse within the neck and lower spine, as well as managing back pain and sciatica. Additionally, he performs deep brain stimulation for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, facial pain, and dystonia.
Throughout his distinguished career, Mr Hyam has received numerous national and international prizes and honours. Notably, he was awarded America’s Congress of Neurological Surgeons’ Resident Prize for Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery in Washington, DC. He holds a PhD in Neurosurgery from Oxford University and a Diploma in Microscopic Neurosurgery from The Yasargil Neurosurgery Laboratory of the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
Mr Hyam is an invited specialist advisor to NICE on behalf of the British Society for Stereotactic & Functional Neurosurgery, providing expert guidance on treatments for conditions such as headache, facial pain, movement disorders, and spinal pain across the country. His contributions to the field have been recognised with the prestigious Arris & Gale Lectureship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, an honour established in 1646 and awarded to surgeons at the pinnacle of their careers. Previous recipients include Nobel Laureate Sir Alexander Fleming.
Mr Hyam’s research in neurosurgery has been published in prestigious international journals, including The Lancet, Nature Reviews Neurology, and The Lancet Neurology. His ongoing commitment to advancing neurosurgical techniques and treatments continues to benefit patients and the medical community alike.
