Dr Karthi Srikanthan
Consultant Respiratory Physician
BSc MBBS PGCME MD(Res) MRCP
I am a consultant respiratory physician with over 10 years of experience in the specialty. My training includes extensive work at leading institutions such as Imperial College NHS Trust and the Royal Brompton Hospital. This is where I developed expertise in managing a range of respiratory conditions, including asthma, COPD, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, and sleep-related breathing disorders. I also regularly see patients with chronic cough and unexplained breathlessness.
I am highly accomplished in the field of bronchoscopy, a camera test used in the diagnosis and treatment of various lung conditions. This formed the basis of my research fellowship at the Royal Brompton Hospital, which provided training in various bronchoscopic techniques.
I am committed to personalised, patient-centered care, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of expertise and compassion in their treatment journey.
I am clinical lead for the bronchoscopy service at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston.
Beyond clinical practice, I am dedicated to medical education, research, and innovation in respiratory medicine, having contributed to key advancements in bronchoscopic procedures and lung disease management.
