Honeyman, Mr C

Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Head and Neck Surgeon

Mr Honeyman was appointed as a substantive Consultant at University Hospitals Plymouth (UHP) NHS Trust in September 2024. His practice covers all aspects of head and neck surgery, head and neck skin cancer management, facial reanimation, and reconstruction after lower limb trauma.

Mr Honeyman graduated from the University of St Andrews in 2009 with a BSc (Hons) in Medicine, and then from the University of Manchester with an MBChB in Medicine and Surgery in 2012. After completion of two-years of Foundation Training in the Severn deanery, Mr Honeyman completed his Plastic Surgery themed Core Surgical Training in Southmead Hospital in Bristol, followed by six years of nationally accredited higher Plastic Surgery training on the pan-Scotland rotation, where he worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee. During this time, he took one year out of his clinical training to work as a clinical research fellow at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences in Oxford, working on projects relating to vascularised composite allotransplantation as a novel method of monitoring solid organ transplants, supervised by Professor Henk Giele.

Mr Honeyman successfully passed the United Kingdom Plastic Surgery exit exams (FRCS Plast) in March 2022 and has been on the GMC Plastic Surgery specialist register since August 2023. In his final year of training, he received a British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic grant to spend a month in Helsinki, Finland, learning advanced techniques in Head and Neck reconstruction. He then undertook a nationally appointed Training Interface Group (TIG) fellowship in ablative and reconstructive head and neck oncology, including facial nerve reconstruction, at the renowned Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. Additionally, Mr Honeyman has been on numerous international surgical, research, and teaching collaborations in Ethiopia, since 2015.
