Dr Simon Corbett
Simon Corbett qualified from St John’s College, Cambridge in 1997 with a distinction in Medicine and a first class honours degree in Pathology. He subsequently trained in General (Internal) Medicine and Cardiology in Edinburgh, London and Milan. His principal subspecialty interest is in interventional cardiology and he was privileged to spend a one year long fellowship with the internationally renowned pioneer and practitioner of coronary stenting, Dr Antonio Colombo at San Raffaele and Columbus Hospitals in Milan, Italy from 2005-6. Prior to his appointment as a Consultant Cardiologist with an interest in Coronary Intervention at Southampton University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust in June 2008, he was a Locum Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at the Hammersmith Hospital in London. He has a longstanding interest in research, from his PhD in antibody engineering with Sir Greg Winter FRS at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge (under the auspices of the University of Cambridge’s intercalated MB/PhD Programme), through to ongoing participation in multi-centre randomised clinical trials in the Wessex Cardiothoracic Centre in Southampton. He has published numerous articles on outcomes with drug-eluting stents in humans in peer-reviewed medical journals and also presented his work at national and international meetings.
Outside of medicine, he is a keen musician and he met his violinist wife while playing the flute in the Cambridge University Chamber Orchestra. He currently wishes he had more time to prevent ongoing deterioration in the standard of his piano playing. He has recently joined the choir of Romsey Abbey as a 2nd tenor alongside his elder son who is a boy chorister.
Dr Corbett is happy to see patients at both Spire Southampton and Wessex Nuffield Hospitals (to see Wessex Nuffield website click here), and also provides an outreach echocardiography service at the Nuffield Hospital.
