Dr Steve Parry qualified at Newcastle University in 1991 and gained his PhD in 2001. After a year in Arizona as a medical resident and then a brief period as a budding cardiologist, Dr Parry became profoundly bored with a single organ system and trained in geriatric and general internal medicine, with a longstanding specialty interest in syncope and related falls. He was appointed to his Consultant Physician post at Newcastle Hospitals Trust in 2002 and has worked predominantly in acute medicine and falls and syncope ever since. He was appointed to a Senior Lectureship at Newcastle University in 2006-2022 when he chose full time clinical work, and Chair at Northumbria University in 2020. He has worked in Commissioning for the last 8 years, currently with the North East and North Cumbria ICB. Steve is currently an Acute Physician at Newcastle Hospitals, with ongoing research and quality improvement interests in fall and syncope.
