Biography

Philip Bath is Stroke Association Professor of Stroke Medicine, and Chair and Head of the Division of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Nottingham.

Clinically, he contributes to the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust Stroke Service (in-patient stroke care). As an NIHR Senior Investigator, his main research interests cover the treatment of acute stroke (blood pressure lowering), prevention of stroke recurrence and cognitive impairment (antiplatelet agentss, blood pressure and lipid lowering) and enhancement of recovery using stem cells. He uses preclinical studies, clinical trials (phase I to IV) and systematic reviews to help address these questions.

He is also part of the Multicentre Preclinical Animal Research Team.
