Malcolm Sperrin
Malcolm was born in Cuba of diplomatic parents in 1963, and attended The Harvey Grammar School in Folkestone leaving there in 1981 to study Physics with Maths at Reading University. His first job was working on Artificial Intelligence and then with the UK Atomic Energy Authority on reactor fault analysis. This experience placed him in a good position to provide insight into both the Chernobyl and Fukushima incidents.
After further study at Reading University, Malcolm joined Medical Physics at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford with responsibility for non-ionising radiation. In 1995, Malcolm moved to the Princess Margaret Hospital in Swindon acting as Deputy Head of Department and then, in 2002, he moved to The Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading taking on the role of Departmental Director.
Malcolm has a special interest in radiation medicine, especially Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy. He also plays a significant role in radiation protection and contingency planning. In parallel to his conventional hospital duties, Malcolm also spends a lot of time teaching and lecturing with organisations including Oxford Postgraduate Medical School, The Open University and various Royal Colleges not to mention lectureships at Guildford and the University of the West of England.
Malcolm was made a visiting professor at Reading, Guildford and Open Universities and visiting academic at Oxford University and plays a role on the national stage with the Institute of Physics, Royal Institution, Science Media Centre and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Malcolm also feeds into activities centred on science and health policy at the DoH.
Malcolm’s down-to-earth approach to Medical Science has led to him being frequently sought by the media for comment on mobile phone use, WiFi safety and even the risks from the Fukushima reactor. He is very active in developing innovation whether operational or scientific and has recently been involved in initiatives with Microsoft and other multi-national companies with a drive to improve patient outcomes.
Malcolm is a keen adventure sports enthusiast and likes to climb, cave and canoe and has been known to parachute. He has a partner, Nicki (who is not sure about the parachuting), an 9-year-old son and a spaniel called Harvey.
