Enoch is one of the UKs leading cardiac surgeons. His initial medical training was at the University of Leicester where he graduated with an honours degree. He then completed a doctorate thesis at the University of Sheffield where he performed ground breaking research into the use of gene therapy to treat conditions of the heart. This research was funded by the British Heart foundation.

Enoch underwent specialist cardiac surgery training in a number of UK cardiac surgery units including Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, Sheffield, Bristol and Plymouth before moving to Melbourne Australia, for a one year advanced cardiac surgery fellowship. An award from the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons for Great Britain and Ireland funded this fellowship.

During this period Enoch gained specialist expertise in beating heart surgery for patients needing heart bypass surgery and keyhole techniques for patients needing a variety of heart surgery procedures.

Since he became a consultant in 2010, Enoch has become one of the most experienced keyhole heart surgeons in the UK. He travels widely both in the UK and abroad, training other surgeons trying to learn keyhole techniques for heart surgery. If you want to know more about Enoch go to enochakowuah.co.uk
