Professional background

Medical director for surgery and cancer board, Board of Directors, UCLH and practising critical care clinician UCLH and researcher UCL.

I am a chest physician trained intensive care consultant and am professor of critical care at UCL. My research interests are in acute lung injury and I have led a number of national and international trails in lung injury in critical care including trialling the use of stem cells and use of Interferon Beta 1a. As medical director, my board covers cancer, surgical specialties, gastrointestinal services, theatres and anaesthesia, and imaging. I am also the SRO for the NCL Cancer Alliance and joint SRO for Critical Care for NCL. I am a member of the Council for the London Senate.
