He is currently undertaking a clinical lectureship and subspecialty training in electrophysiology and devices in the South London Deanery.

Chris was awarded a BHF Clinical Research Training fellowship in 2018 for his PhD investigating clinicopathological markers in inherited arrhythmic disorders. He has since published first-author original research papers in Circulation and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. His research has led to several academic prizes, including the Young Investigator Award in Sports Cardiology, awarded by the European Association for Preventive Cardiology. He was also a finalist for the Young Investigator Award in Clinical Science at the European Society of Cardiology annual congress.

His interests include clinical electrophysiology, inherited cardiac conditions, sports cardiology, and complex cardiac devices. He is recognised by the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) as a certified cardiac devices specialist (CCDS). Chris is also module lead for the St George’s MSc in Sports Cardiology and an expert member of the London Westminster Research Ethics Committee.

Liam Tobin

Liam Tobin has been a cardiac nurse since qualifying in 2004. He worked on CCU for 9 years after qualifying. From there he took on various roles as a nurse educator, arrhythmia clinical nurse specialist (CNS), inherited arrhythmia CNS and CCU ward manager. His current role is Lead nurse for Inherited Cardiac Conditions for both King’s College Hospital and Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital in London.

Liam returned to the field of ICC due to developing an interest in channelopathies and sudden cardiac death when working for four years as an Inherited Arrhythmia CNS. During his time as an inherited arrhythmia nurse he completed an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice which included conducting a research study looking at the lived experiences of patients undergoing clinical screening following the sudden cardiac death of a first degree relative.
