About
Professor Leeson trained in medicine in Cambridge and London before moving to Oxford to receive specialist cardiology training. He practices General Cardiology and has particular expertise in Cardiac Imaging and Cardiovascular Prevention. He leads the Oxford Specialist Hypertension Clinic and is a recognised British and Irish Hypertension Society Hypertension Specialist.
Alongside his clinical work, Professor Leeson is actively involved in developing hypertension guidelines and position statements for the European Society of Cardiology and speaks widely on how to optimise blood pressure management, particularly in young patients, those with hypertension after pregnancy, or those with difficult-to-control blood pressure.
