Professional background
Dr. Peter Odor is a consultant in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine at University College London Hospitals and an honorary associate professor at University College London. He trained in medicine at Oxford University, where he also completed a Master’s degree in physiological sciences.
During post-graduate training in St. George’s, and Guy’s, St. Thomas’ and King’s schools of anaesthesia, he undertook fellowships in regional anaesthesia, clinical research, and perioperative medicine. He qualified as a Fellow of Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA) in 2012, later being awarded a master’s degree in perioperative care and PhD at University College London for researching unintended consciousness during general anaesthesia for obstetric surgery.
