Elspeth Whitby BSc, MBChB, FFDRCSI, PhD

Elspeth Whitby trained at Manchester University gaining a BSc (Hons) in 1987 in Immunology and Oncology and an MB ChB (Hons) in 1990. This stimulated an interest in academic medicine and research.

In 1991 Elspeth Whitby moved to Sheffield for a medical rotation and then trained in Radiology. My interest in academic medicine continued and in 1998 I joined the University of Sheffield as a part-time lecturer and was promoted to (part-time) senior lecturer in 2003. Elspeth Whitby has been instrumental in the development of research and clinical practice in the field of Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging of the fetus and neonate providing a top-class local service and accepting referrals from all over the UK. I also support development in countries abroad by providing second opinions if required and welcoming visitors to the unit.

Elspeth Whitby provides a clinical MR imaging service and she is actively involved in MDT meetings for both patients with fetal abnormalities or suspected placental invasion and Neonates. I also take part in the genetics/pathology fetal and neonatal MDT.
