About

Dr Sebastian Barton studied undergraduate and clinical medicine at Cambridge University and worked in junior doctor posts in Cambridge and Norwich before moving to Southampton for an SHO rotation to complete general medical training after which he completed Gastroenterology training in London.

After completing molecular biological research for an MD degree awarded by the University of Cambridge whilst a University Lecturer in Medicine, he was then appointed Senior Registrar at the Royal Free, Royal London and St Bartholomew's Hospitals. He worked for a year as a Consultant Liver Transplant Physician at the Royal Free Hospital before deciding to bring up his family outside London.
