Michael qualified from Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in 1995, where he also completed an intercalated BSc. He was awarded distinctions in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and neurology. He was appointed at UHS in 2016, having been a consultant in Chertsy prior to this. Michael is Professor of Interventional Cardiology in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton and a Consultant Cardiologist with a special interest in coronary artery and mitral and tricuspid valve intervention (TEER).
Having spent two years as an Interventional Cardiology Fellow in Washington DC, I returned to the UK first as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Cambridge and then as Senior Lecturer in Cardiological Sciences and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the University of Surrey. In 2016 I could no longer resist the allure of the South coast and re-joined the cardiology team at Southampton. I was awarded a personal chair at the university of Southampton in July 2024.
My areas of clinical interest include coronary artery disease, chemotherapy-induced heart disease (cardio-oncology), alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac biopsy. Recently I have led on the set up a mitral valve edge to edge (mTEER) service at University Hospital Southampton with Dr Wilkinson and I am currently the clinical lead for this service.
Outside medicine, my family and I are passionate Hellenophiles and try to spend as much time as possible travelling across Greece.
