I am a Cardiothoracic Anaesthetist and Intensivist at Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge. I pursued my medical education graduating from University of Pisa in 2007 where I completed my Anaesthesia and Intensive Care training in 2012.
Since 2012, I’ve been an integral part of the Royal Papworth Hospital, initially starting with a fellowship in Cardiac Anaesthesia and Intensive Care and moving into a consultant role in February 2014.
Throughout my career, I’ve fostered a keen interest in echocardiography and education. I’ve established dedicated teaching sessions in point-of-care ultrasound for ICU and Anaesthesia trainees. Engaging with the cardiology department, I set up a quality assurance system for ultrasounds performed in intensive care, aiming for higher standards in patient care.
As the Course Director for Point of Care Ultrasound since 2017, I’ve organized over 20 courses to date. My commitment to advancing this field led me to become the Focused Transoesophageal Echocardiography (fTOE) Program National Lead and a FUSIC Committee Member since May 2019.
My contributions extend to publications in esteemed journals, exploring topics like comprehensive hemodynamic assessment with ultrasound and the role of lung ultrasound in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Furthermore, I’ve had the honor of presenting internationally on subjects ranging from transesophageal echocardiography in thoracic anesthesia to the impact of intraoperative TEE on outcomes.
My journey continues to be driven by a passion for innovation, education, and delivering high-quality care to my patients. Let’s connect and explore the realms of cardiovascular medicine and intensive care together!

I worked for 17 years as a Cardiothoracic Anaesthetist and Intensivist at San Gerardo University Hospital in Monza, after graduating from the University of Milan in 2000, and completing my training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2004. After serving for two years as the medical director for prehospital medical care in the Milan Metropolitan Area, four years ago I became the Director of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, and the Director of the Department of Emergency and Acute Care in Sondrio, in the northernmost region of Lombardy, where we are now organising the next Winter Olympics.
In Monza I focused my clinical and research interest in echocardiography, where I was the lead Consultant for the department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, and ECMO, where I contributed to start and develop the ECPR programme from 2005.
In my role as an academic tutor before, and as an Adjunct Professor from 2017 on, echocardiography, mechanical circulatory support, cardiac arrest, mechanical ventilation, and trauma care have always been my main fields of interest.
I contributed a number of publications in international peer-reviewed journals, particularly in the fields of cardiac anaesthesia and ECMO, and book chapters. Together with Prof. Nicolò Patroniti, and Prof. Antonio Pesenti, I also edited a book on ECMO which received a very good appreciation.
Apart from my academic activities, I had the honour to serve as the President of the Italian Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (ITACTAIC), where I now serve as a member of the Board of Directors, and Treasurer. During my term as President, together with Dr. Antonio Rubino, we set up the Italian accreditation in Focused TOE, which is now in its tenth year.
I also have the honour of serving as member of the Board of Directors and Education Chair of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (EACTAIC), where I take responsibility for coordinating all the educational activities, and the fellowship and training exchange programmes of the Association.
I regularly have the privilege to present at international meetings and courses, mainly on various aspects of ultrasound in anaesthesia and intensive care, haemodynamic monitoring, acute heart failure, and mechanical circulatory support.
After more than 20 years, I’m even more committed and dedicated to learning and teaching, to ensure the best quality patient care. I’m excited for this new opportunity to share experiences and learn from each other!
Segun is an Intensive Care Consultant at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, with special interests in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO),clinician wellbeing, point of care ultrasound, equality/diversity/inclusion, life after critical illness, and online education. His real claim to fame is running an award winning wedding cake and confectionery business with his wife, Fehintola; he primarily functions as Chief Taster, and occasional Dish Washer.
