Dr Philip Kelly

Profile

I am an experienced consultant endocrinologist, thyroid specialist and general physician with clinical expertise with thyroid dysfunction, tumours and goitre, thyroid disease and conception and pregnancy, the investigation of fatigue and adrenal disease, pituitary disorders including prolactin problems, and endocrine causes of infertility. I also diagnose and manage diabetes (mostly type 2), lipids, hypertension, metabolism, iron deficiency and anaemia. I will also work to understand you and your problems, and deliver a high quality, easily accessible service. I offer rapid access to investigations, alongside up-to-date information and support.

I graduated in Medicine at The London Hospital Medical College and undertook specialist training in endocrinology, diabetes mellitus and general and acute internal medicine at St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London Hospitals. Alongside my clinical training I undertook research in the endocrinology of colon cancer and gained an MD from the University of London in 2010.

I have been a Consultant Physician to King’s College Hospital since 2013 and have been both Clinical Lead and Clinical Director of Acute Medicine across King's at Denmark Hill and The Princess Royal University Hospitals and currently co-lead the Medicine and Integrated Care Clinical Academic Group at King's Health Partners. My clinical interests are in general and specialist endocrinology, thyroid dysfunction, goitre and tumours, the natural or early menopause, diabetes mellitus, lipid disorders, hypertension, the diagnosis and management of anaemia, infections of the lungs, urinary tracts and central nervous system, and the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism and its consequences on cardio-respiratory health. I also see patients for general health checks and in particular reducting in the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease.
