About Mr Thomas Routledge
GMC number: 4431417
Year qualified: 1997
Place of primary qualification: Oxford University
Thomas Routledge received scholarships for medical science while attending medical schools at Cambridge and Oxford Universities. He received his medical education in Cambridge, London, and New York. He is the Chief of Thoracic Surgery at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals, where he was recruited as a Consultant in Thoracic Surgery in 2007. He presently serves as the principal thoracic surgeon and co-director of the multidisciplinary lung cancer team at HCA London Bridge Hospital.
Working as a technical developer and advisor for Intuitive Surgical and the DaVinci robotic system, he has been at the forefront of developing minimally invasive robotic surgery. He has created methods that enable the majority of his patients to take use of this more delicate and accurate method of performing surgery, expanding the technology's applicability to a variety of circumstances and conditions. While Mr. Routledge places a high priority on the patient experience and assistance for patients' families during the trying period that comes with any surgical treatment, he has created a team at London Bridge Hospital and throughout HCA London to accomplish this.
