Biography
Dr Sohaib Nazir graduated from Imperial College London in 2007 with a dual award: MBBS and a BSc in Management with First Class Honours. His junior doctor training took place at Hammersmith Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital, before he embarked on specialist cardiology training across some of London's most prestigious institutions — Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, King's College Hospital, and St George's Hospital.
In 2016, Dr Nazir was awarded a highly competitive MRC Clinical Research Training Fellowship to pursue a PhD at King's College London. His doctoral research focused on the application of advanced cardiac imaging — in particular, cardiac MRI — in the evaluation of coronary artery disease, helping to establish new diagnostic standards in the field.
In 2019, he was appointed to an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship, one of the most prestigious academic clinical training positions available in the NHS. He currently holds dual consultant posts at the Royal Brompton Hospital and The Harley Street Clinic, HCA Healthcare UK, alongside his role as Clinical Senior Lecturer at King's College London.
