As a clinical academic, I combine leading UCL Medical School and the MBBS with my role as a consultant physician in palliative medicine. I am a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Education, with a mixed clinical and educational research portfolio. I am Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I work with outstanding and dedicated academic and professional services colleagues and am proud to lead UCL Medical School and proud of our students.
MBBS Medicine
Study the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with us to become a highly capable, patient-centred clinician, grounded in science and best practice.
As a microbial ecologist, I work to understand how our resident microbiota maintains health and sometimes causes disease. More recently, I have investigated human microbiota in the gut, lung, and bladder and how the microbial communities can influence local and systemic diseases. I co-founded the BSc Applied Medical Sciences to explore the foundations of medicine and how science helps us to understand and treat various diseases with medicine.
BSc Applied Medical Sciences
Bridge the gap between science and medicine on this 3-year BSc. Gain an in-depth understanding of how cutting-edge scientific research leads to improvements in clinical practice and patient outcomes.
I have taught on Nutrition programmes for over ten years and have been course director since 2015. Many of our graduates are now service leaders and key opinion makers around the world. As a registered nutritionist and research scientist working in liver disease and digestive health, I have insight into the importance of nutrition and metabolism in both health and disease. My work examines what how other organs and systems are affected when the liver fails.
MSc Clinical and Public Health Nutrition
The MSc offers specialised training in the clinical and scientific basis of malnutrition and obesity and therapeutic approaches to correcting this in hospital, community and educational settings.
I am a Senior Specialist Weight Management and Bariatric dietitian with 15 years' clinical experience and a PhD in Medicine from Imperial College. My research interests include obesity, type 2 diabetes, bariatric surgery, weight stigma and the use of formula-based diets in different patient populations. My recent work investigates the impact of COVID-19 on people living with obesity. I have also designed innovative group sessions for patients within a Tier-3 service.
MSc Dietetics
Our two-year Dietetics MSc combines academic knowledge with practice to help you become a competent, autonomous dietitian. You'll be equipped to deliver evidence-based, user-centred dietetic care.
The future belongs to our students. I hope to get you curious about the topic and help you push the frontiers of aesthetic and regenerative medicine and surgery. I always learn by teaching and interaction with students, which is a bonus. There is so much to look forward to every day, from treating patients with unexpected findings to trainees coming up with unusual scenarios.
