He is a dedicated teacher and communicator and is recognised as a world-leading expert on risk and quality in surgical care. He is the author of The Naked Surgeon and a compiler of cryptic crosswords for The Guardian and the Financial Times.
‘Nashef's honest, unvarnished writing about his life and death work
has given his readers new insights into the reality of life inside
the operating theatre.’
*BBC World News HARDtalk*
‘Enthralling and outspoken.’
*The Times*
‘It’s funny, sad, uplifting and hopeful. Samer Nashef’s writing
style is easy for the lay person to understand (his description of
how to do a heart transplant is unforgettable) but is also
interesting to those who have some knowledge of cardiology ...
Whether you work in medicine or are just interested in how heart
problems can be corrected by surgery, this is a great read. I read
this book in a couple of days because the stories were so varied
and enthralling.’
*Sam Still Reading*
Praise for The Naked Surgeon: ‘A Malcolm Gladwell-esque look at

*The Times*
Praise for The Naked Surgeon: ‘One can’t help but think of Henry
Marsh when reading Samer Nashef … [He] writes clearly, with
plentiful moments of humour.’
*The Independent*
Praise for The Naked Surgeon: ‘[The Naked Surgeon] takes a scalpel
to the medical profession and asks if patients get the standard of
care they have the right to expect from their surgeons … A valuable
resource.’
*Irish Independent*
