About Dr Anita Jayadev

GMC number: 6127985

Year qualified: 2005

Place of primary qualification: University of London

Dr. Anita Jayadev is a highly skilled respiratory consultant with a wealth of expertise and notable achievements. She graduated from St. Bartholomew's School of Medicine and Dentistry in London in 2005. Currently, she is based at Wexham Park Hospital, where she specialises in general and interventional respiratory medicine.

Dr. Jayadev has made significant contributions to her field, including the establishment and leadership of the Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) service at Wexham Park Hospital. This advanced procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as cancer, tuberculosis, and sarcoidosis. The EBUS technique allows for direct biopsies of central and mediastinal tumours and the collection of lymph node samples for disease staging.

In addition to her work with EBUS, Dr. Jayadev has a keen interest in sleep medicine. She has served as a locum and honorary Sleep and Ventilation Consultant at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. At Wexham Park Hospital, she has set up a sleep service, providing expert opinions on sleep-related breathing disorders and conducting overnight sleep studies to diagnose and manage conditions like obstructive sleep apnoea.

Dr. Jayadev's expertise extends to the care of acute general medical patients. She has held academic training positions and published several research articles. Her contributions have been recognised through invitations to national committees. She is also dedicated to patient safety, having won the BMJ Patient Safety Team of the Year award during her Darzi Fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital. She continues this focus as the clinical Quality Improvement lead and Trust Sepsis lead at Wexham Park Hospital.

Her proficiency in managing lung cancer includes monitoring lung nodules and treating complex pleural diseases. She collaborates with radiologists, cytologists, and oncologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and staging of lung cancer through procedures like EBUS.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Jayadev has been instrumental in managing acute respiratory failure and developing rehabilitation programmes. She helped create a ""virtual ward"" for COVID patients requiring close monitoring and collaborated with the physiotherapy team at Genesis Care to establish a COVID rehab programme.

In summary, Dr. Anita Jayadev is a dedicated and accomplished respiratory consultant with expertise in lung cancer, sleep medicine, acute general medical care, and patient safety. Her significant contributions include the establishment of the EBUS service and the development of COVID rehabilitation programmes.
