Mohelim in the UK

Standard medical circumcision is different than the Jewish ritual of "Circumcision" with regards to both its surgical aspects and its intended purpose.

For example, many physicians use a Gamko clamp, which is forbidden according to Jewish law.

Furthermore, circumcision is only one aspect of the Jewish ritual Brit Milah, which actually means "Covenant of Circumcision". 

A Brit Milah isn’t just surgery; it is the sealing of a covenant between a Jewish child and his Creator.  

Thus even if a doctor can perform the surgery (Milah) in an adequate/Halachic manner, nonetheless in order to achieve the special covenant (Brit), it is necessary for it to be performed by a G-d fearing Jew, someone who lives by that very covenant.

Practically speaking as well, your best choice is an experienced Mohel who is a specialist in the field, oftentimes performing such procedures on an almost daily basis.

By having the Brit performed by a qualified Mohel one is assured that the entire procedure is acceptable to all halachic standards, and performed in a most medically competent manner.
