Søren Kudsk-Iversen

Søren is an anaesthetic consultant based in Oxford with an interest in the overlap between health inequalities and planetary health, and the use of routine data for perioperative quality of care in settings of global and local health inequity. He regularly teaches across a number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses on topics relating to perioperative impacts of planetary health and health inequity. He has completed an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) in Global Anaesthesia through University of Oxford, where he collaborated with a variety of leading aid organisations and academic institutions to look at perioperative care in humanitarian settings. From October 2025 onwards he started a part-time clinical doctorate, looking at the association between climate vulnerability, health inequity, and perioperative outcomes, under supervision from Professor Sara Shaw, Associate Professor Sara Khalid, and Dr Akshay Shah. In his capacity as anaesthetic sustainability lead at Oxford University Hospitals, he was awarded the staff recognition award for sustainability in 2023, and finalist for the Climate Action Champion award in the Oxford Climate Awards in 2024, and continues to be involved with projects at departmental, divisional, and trust-wide level.
