Professional background

Dr Paul Jarman has been a consultant neurologist at the National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery since 2001. He studied medicine at Oxford University and University College London medical school, graduating with honours in medicine, surgery, pathology and clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. He obtained a PhD in molecular genetics of movement disorders following a period of research funded by a Wellcome Trust research fellowship. His  neurology specialist training was completed in London with a short period at UCLA in Los Angeles.
