Dr Helgi Johannsson

Welcome to my page

I have been a consultant anaesthetist at Imperial College Healthcare since 2007, having trained at St Bartholomew’s, then anaesthetic training in North and East London. My clinical work is based at St Mary’s and Hammersmith hospitals and includes a wide variety of disciplines, including trauma care, oesophagogastric surgery, obstetrics, bariatrics.

My other interests include education, social media and medicine, music and exercise. I have been in many leadership roles, including clinical director of anaesthesia and intensive care, associate medical director for education at Imperial, director of anaesthesia for MSI choices and most recently Vice-President of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

I have long kept a blog, on two different providers, the first being deleted a few years ago.

This website is simply to make access to my writing easier and protect it from being deleted on a corporate whim.
