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.
