Dr Neil Martin

Consultant Physician - Respiratory Medicine

MBChB (Hons), BSc (Hons), MRCP, MFSEM, MD

I started my medical career at Edinburgh University and graduated in 1998 with an honours degree in medicine and a first class intercalated BSc in respiratory pathology. Since then I have served as a Medical Officer with the Royal Navy including specialist interests in diving medicine, submarine medicine and a tour of Afghanistan.

I specialised in respiratory medicine in Edinburgh before moving to Leicester to complete an MD in exercise asthma in elite athletes, a topic on which I have published extensively. I am a medical advisor to the world class performance programme for British Swimming and have managed asthma for a number of national and international athletes, especially in the run up to London 2012 where I provided sports medicine services at the Aquatics Centre for the Olympic games.

My interests are asthma, exercise asthma, occupational aspects of lung disease, pleural disease and interventional bronchoscopy.
