I’m a core anaesthetic trainee in the Peninsula Deanery. I studied medicine at UCL, where I also did an intercalated degree in Medical Physics and Bioengineering — which goes some way to explaining what came after. After an academic foundation programme in Wales, I spent two years in ACCS acute medicine in the Severn Deanery before moving into anaesthetics in 2023. Along the way I picked up an MRes in Applied Biomedical Sciences and a PGCert in Clinical Education.

Outside of clinical work I build things. Argus is a head-mounted barcode system designed to reduce perioperative medication errors; the People’s Phantom is an open-source ultrasound training phantom that costs under £5 to make; Minerva uses large language models to generate FRCA exam questions indistinguishable from the real thing. Most of this ends up on GitHub.

I’m also a reader — specifically of things most people find niche. WWI and WWII military medical handbooks, early physician memoirs, South American botanical expedition diaries documenting the origins of curare. I collect antique medical textbooks with more enthusiasm than shelf space.

According to the GMC’s guidelines on Doctors’ use of social media, anyone identifying themselves as a doctor must identify themselves fully by name. My name is George Harris and I can be found on the GMC Medical Register.
