Personal information

Biography

Dr Rob Hallifax is a Respiratory Consultant and Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, having completed an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship. He studied an MSc in Natural Sciences in Cambridge before training in medicine at the University of Oxford. He won an MRC Clinical Training Fellowship for his DPhil: "Understanding Pneumothorax: epidemiology, physiology and outcomes".

Dr Hallifax was the trial coordinator for RAMPP (Randomised Ambulatory Management of Primary Pneumothorax) - the largest primary pneumothorax trial in Europe. He has recently published on pneumothorax in JAMA and Lancet.
