Dr Robert Marshall gained an academic scholarship to Canford
School in Dorset, and qualified from the United Medical and Dental
Schools of Guy's and St Thomas's Hospitals in London in 1996,
gaining a First Class intercalated BSc in the History of Medicine
along the way.
After surgical house jobs at Guy's and Lewisham Hospitals, he
completed his medical house job and a year as a senior house
officer in Kingston, before leaving London to undertake a medical
rotation in Plymouth. Interest in rheumatology developed during
that time, and after completing the Membership of the Royal
Colleges of Physicians in 2000, he embarked on higher specialist
training in Rheumatology the following year.
An initial post as a Specialist Registrar at the Bristol Royal
Infirmary led to an interest in teaching, and in 2002-3 he
undertook a post as a Clinical Fellow in Musculoskeletal Medical
Education at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in
Bath, and the University of Bristol. He subsequently completed a
Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education, and became a Fellow
of the Higher Education Academy in 2006. He currently has major
involvement in undergraduate medical education, and is Deputy
Academy Dean for the South Bristol Academy of the University of
Bristol Medical School.
After completing rheumatology training in Portsmouth,
Bournemouth and Poole, he worked as a Locum Consultant in
Portsmouth before taking up his post as Consultant Rheumatologist
at the Bristol Royal Infirmary in 2006. In 2014 he took over the
role of Clinical Lead for Rheumatology at University Hospitals
Bristol.
He helped to develop a Care Pathway for patients with
newly-diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis, which received a Best
Practice Award from the British Society for Rheumatology on
2013.
In 2008 he became an inaugural member of Arthritis Research UK
USER Committee, which brings the patient's voice to the allocation
of research funding in musculoskeletal diseases. He took over the
Chair in 2011.
