Welcome, I am David Goldsmith, MA MB BChir FRCP(Lond) FRCP(Edin) FASN FERA.
In May 2015 I was very honoured to be the Congress President of the 52nd ERA-EDTA Congress in London, where we had 2496 abstracts submitted (a record), and 8190 attendees (4th highest attendance since 1964).
My current positions include Emeritus Consultant Nephrologist at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust Hospital and Visiting Professor at St George's University, London, UK.
In addition to my clinical duties I have, or have held, several honorary academic positions, including Cardio-Renal Medicine, King’s College London, Visiting Professor at St George's University of London, and G.I. Popa School of Medicine and Pharmacy, Iasi, Romania.
I have both undertaken teaching duties, and performed research, at these institutions, often in fruitful collaborations with very many others, around the World, helping to drive and shape clinical excellence through research collaborations. As a passionate research-driven clinician I am determined and committed to harnessing ever more successful approaches to improving the treatment of renal conditions. I have published extremely widely in my field covering clinical scientific and medico-political topics, as I seek to ensure that we can continue to move renal treatments ever further forward. For a full list of publications, please click here.
Within this site I would like to take the opportunity to present you with information about my training and career, my time in general medical and kidney medicine, my role in teaching and management, my ongoing research and publications, and my many interests outside of medicine.
From these pages, you may want to know how may I be of help to you.
