Biography

Dan Carradice grew up in West Yorkshire. Following his love of science, technology, working with people and practical creativity; he attended Medical School at the University of Sheffield. On the advice of a valuable mentor, he then moved to Hull craving the very highest quality postgraduate surgical training and found what he was looking for.

Dan chose to specialise in one of the fastest growing, yet least known specialties: Vascular Surgery. This offers one of the most diverse and rewarding practices available; operating from head to toe, from some of the smallest structures to the largest, performing some of the most technologically advanced minimally invasive and some of the largest open procedures possible. Crucially Vascular and Endovascular Surgery has an extremely strong emphasis on research and evidence based practice.

In pursuit of research training and experience, Dan then took on the role of Research Fellow, completing several RCTs, alongside ongoing clinical training and the completion of his qualification in Vascular Ultrasound. This early taste of successful research pushed Dan towards a career as a Clinical Academic and following his time as Hunterian Professor and his Fellowship at St George's he returned to Hull as a Senior Lecturer.
