Profile

ORCID iD: 0000-0002-5002-2721

Dr Prowle is Clinical reader in Critical Care Nephrology in the Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine Research Group at William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London and is an Honorary Consultant Physician in Intensive Care Medicine and Renal Medicine at the Royal London Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust. 

Dr Prowle graduated with distinction in medicine from the University of Cambridge in 1999 and undertook Doctoral Research under the supervision of Prof Rinaldo Bellomo (the most published and highly cited researcher in the history of Australian Medicine) in Melbourne, Australia leading to the award of his MD research doctorate in 2012.

His research interests include the pathogenesis, diagnosis and outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury, Renal replacement Therapy in the ICU the Epidemiology of Critical Illness and its recovery and the impact of multi-morbidity of high risk surgical and ICU outcomes. Since 2009 he has co-authored over 160 peer-reviewed publications and 30 book chapters.  

He is a active senior contributor to national and international collaborations in critical care nephrology including the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI), Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes AKI Group and the UK Kidney research Consortium Clinical Studies Group in AKI (as co-chair).
