Simon Braithwaite

I am a radiology registrar at Oxford University Hospitals NHS trust.

I graduated from UCL with MBBS and an iBSC in surgical sciences. I completed my foundation training in London before moving abroad to work in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. On returning to the UK, I joined the team at Oxford University Hospitals, where I am currently an interventional radiology registrar.

I am a fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists.

Radiology inspires me because it is a specialty at the forefront of medical advance. It covers all aspects of medicine and surgery with a vital role in the MDT care of patients.

As a Clinical Advisor I provide small group tutorials for clinical students at Trinity College.

I tailor the sessions to the individual student’s experience. The aim is to equip students with the tools required to interpret common radiology examinations that are encountered on the wards.

I am involved in a number of research and quality improvement projects within radiology. Recent research includes publishing interventional radiology case reports and presenting work at international conferences on cervical spine intervention.
