Natasha Spiteri – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Telford

Ms Natasha Spiteri serves as Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Partner at Newmedica Telford, based at Queens Road Consulting Rooms in Donnington. She graduated from Medical School in Malta in 2004. Then, she completed her foundational ophthalmic training in the Mersey region of the UK. Moreover, she undertook a 12‑month fellowship in corneal disease at a leading Sydney centre. Consequently, she gained extensive expertise in corneal transplantation and anterior segment surgery. Afterward, she joined Countess of Chester Hospital as Consultant Ophthalmologist in 2017. There, she developed the hospital’s cornea service by introducing both penetrating grafts and advanced lamellar techniques. In addition, she earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Cataract and Refractive Surgery from Ulster University. Ultimately, this training enriched her skills in cataract surgery, refractive lens procedures, and laser vision correction.

Furthermore, Ms Spiteri maintains an active research profile. She publishes peer‑reviewed papers on corneal pathology and refractive outcomes and regularly presents at national conferences. Therefore, she stays at the forefront of emerging techniques and incorporates evidence‑based protocols into her practice. Above all, her compassionate communication style and commitment to shared decision‑making empower patients to participate fully in their care plans.
