Profile

I am a consultant general laparoscopic surgeon with an interest in Upper GI, Cancer and Bariatric (weight loss) surgery. My specialist practice also includes laparoscopic hernia, reflux and gallbladder surgery. Since qualifying as a doctor in 1989, my specialist surgical training has taken me from Nottingham to Leeds and Oxford. I was awarded a prestigious fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery at The Royal Adelaide Hospital, before taking up my consultant post in Derby in 2002. I have been a member of The Council of The Association Of Laparoscopic Surgeons since 2010. I have been committed to providing a specialist laparoscopic service in The East Midlands, for both NHS & private patients. I currently perform over 300 laparoscopic procedures per year, with nationally published outcomes.

Mr Leeder took the time to put me at ease, listened to me and explained things in a way I could understand. I left feeling extremely confident that he would do the best for me. Sue Creedy

Mr Leeder was professional, understanding and my consultation was a pleasure. He explained everything about my condition reassured me and was very informative with my treatment. The pre-op was professional and the staff very friendly explaining everything to me. The operation was a great success and the care I received was very good. I have seen Mr Leeder a further 2 times for a follow up and the professionalism and care was excellent I would like to take this opportunity to thank him again

I saw Mr Leeder about 2 hernias. He suggested that they could be treated with laparoscopic surgery. I was able to be booked in for the procedure promptly. My recovery was largely painfree, a testament to the skill of the surgeon. The care I received from the clinicians was exemplary and throughout the process all of the staff at the Nuffield Hospital were helpful and caring. Many Thanks!

From the start of my treatment to the actual operation and aftercare, the whole experience was one of first class care. Mr. Leeder explained the procedure in great detail during our first meeting. I knew what to expect during my stay, ( one day, ) in Nuffield hospital Derby. My treatment throughout was first class and I felt at ease during the whole procedure. All the staff at Nuffield were first class. From walking into the reception for the first time, to being interviewed by Staff Nurse Sarah and having blood taken by Fozia. Surely one of the best experiences of my many times in previous hospitals / Doctors surgeries etc having blood taken. I can't express my gratitude enough to the team of professionals that cared for me over a period of time before my operation. And a final word of thanks to Mr. Paul Leeder. Whose skill put an end to the severe pain I'd experienced for quite some time before my operation. Words simply can't convey my deep gratitude to the whole team. And of course, in particular, Mr. Paul Leeder.

Mr Leeder is very easy to talk to and to understand . He explains everything in detail and answers any questions and concerns . I had a very good experience especially with the recovery from my surgery . I would highly recommend him .

Mr Leeder was very attentive and asked all the questions that would allow him a better overall picture of me, his patient and my condition. I was impressed by his caring yet very professional approach and would recommend him. In my own situation I am in need of surgery for a Hernia having had previous Hernia surgery. He was concerned to use his own specialist Laprascopic surgery skills to attend to my problem which would give a better long term result in the sense of less likelihood of recurrence and allow for my fairly, physically, busy life.
