About Dr Fasihul Khan

Dr. Fasihul Khan is a leading Consultant Respiratory Physician based, providing expert care for all respiratory conditions, including Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), asthma, COPD, lung infections, bronchiectasis, and sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). He also assesses patients with breathlessness, chronic cough, and unexplained respiratory symptoms, ensuring timely and accurate diagnosis through rapid access to specialist investigations, including CT scans, lung function testing, bronchoscopy, and sleep studies.

Dr. Khan is a recognised specialist in ILD and leads the specialist ILD service at Glenfield Hospital, receiving referrals from across the region. He diagnoses and manages conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, connective tissue disease-related lung disease, and environmental/inhalational lung disease. As an approved prescriber of specialised anti-fibrotic therapies, he ensures patients have access to the latest treatment options.

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Khan is an active contributor to respiratory medicine at both national and international levels. He is a recent former member of the British Thoracic Society’s ILD Specialist Advisory Group, where he played a key role in shaping patient care standards across the UK. His commitment to advancing ILD research led him to complete a PhD focused on predicting survival in ILD patients. His work has been published in leading respiratory journals, and he has presented his findings at international conferences, earning recognition and awards for his contributions. He continues to collaborate on national and international research projects, exploring innovative approaches to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring ILD patients.

Dr. Khan is also a passionate educator, regularly delivering lectures and training to general practitioners, hospital doctors, and medical students. He holds a postgraduate certificate in medical education, ensuring his teaching remains engaging and effective for the next generation of medical professionals.

Dr. Khan’s multilingual abilities, including fluency in Hindi and Urdu and an understanding of Gujarati and Punjabi, enable him to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population, ensuring personalised and culturally sensitive care.

Hi Dr Khan was very attentive and very helpful. He asked me to explain all my symptoms and allowed me time to discuss other things that were on my mind. He laid all the possible solutions for me and explained everything thoroughly. I really recommend Dr Khan for any future appointments regarding respiratory as he is very knowledgeable and understanding.

Dr Khan is an exceptionally patient-focused doctor with outstanding communication, empathy, and understanding. I have always felt safe and well cared for under his guidance. I have been treated by Dr Khan on several occasions, and each time he demonstrated a strong ability to diagnose complex medical problems accurately and efficiently, particularly where previous consultations with other specialists had not provided clarity. His clinical judgment inspires confidence, and his approach is consistently calm, structured, and thoughtful. What sets Dr Khan apart is the way he explains each step of the process. He clearly outlines both the diagnosis and the reasoning behind the treatment plan, using language that is straightforward and accessible to non-medical patients - and creates space for questions that he answers clearly and without rushing. Follow-up care is equally impressive. Dr Khan is attentive, responsive, and provides continuity and reassurance beyond the initial consultation. He has an excellent bedside manner and creates an environment where I feel listened to, supported, and respected. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality medical care.

I am so glad to be under the care of Dr Fasihul Khan. He listens. He gives me his full attention. He explains my condition and treatment in terms I can understand. If he doesn’t have an answer to a question, he is quite frank about that. I come away feeling that all current issues have been addressed and I understand my plan of care.

Doctor Khan is a warm and welcoming clinician. He took time to listen to my story, addressing my concerns and offered clear and concise explanations. He suggested treatments for my problem, which I am happy to accept. I felt in good, knowledgeable hands. I regret to say that I have been disappointed with the NHS recently but now feel that something is finally being done to help me.
