I am now working part-time as a locum consultant in acute medicine at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, having retired from full-time work in August 2018. Between December 2014 and August 2018 I was a consultant respiratory physician at Gloucestershire Hospitals, with a special interest in lung cancer and interventional pulmonology. From July 2008 until December 2014 I practised in general respiratory medicine at Cambridge University Hospitals (Addenbrooke's) and in specialist respiratory medicine at Papworth Hospital. I studied medicine in London at Guy’s Hospital before completing my training in Oxford, Sydney, Cambridge and Norwich. I worked as a consultant physician at the Oxford University Hospitals from 2000-08 before moving to Papworth to pursue my specialist interests in lung cancer. I was Medical Director at Papworth from January 2013 to December 2014.

I was admitted to Gloucester Royal Hospital recently and was seen by Dr Slade who is a very down to earth and pleasant man. I am not at all surprised that he has so many good reviews although he seemed to be unaware of the fact. I would reccommend to any other patient and would be happy to be treated by him again.

No words can express my gratitude towards this man, he cared for my daughter as if she was his own ( his words ). Thanks to this exceptional man she is now thirty years old, married and has a beautiful one year old daughter. On Monday she is due to return to Papworth for a endoscopy and hopefully signed off, so once again thank you doctor xx

Dr Slade treated my brother - Jonathan - with such care and compassion that I want to share. Jonathan died this morning, following a year of coping with lung cancer and chronic respiratory complications. He was supported so well by NHS staff throughout that I want to thank you all. Dr Slade especially. Jonathan asked me to convey how deeply thankful he was for his friendship, kindness and utmost integrity.

I have recently been under the care of Dr Slade for a recurring plural effusion. He was so patient and really took the time to listen to my concerns and find out why this kept happening and treated me with such compassion and understanding. He explained everything so clearly and how this will be treated and I felt so reassured. I really couldn't have asked for a better doctor, would highly recommend to anyone.

Upon my diagnosis of Lung Cancer Dr Slade treated me with complete honesty but was very gentle and patient. He was so reassuring and informative and I couldn't have asked for better care.

Sadly, my mum has just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in the last week. Whilst we are only just coming to terms with the news, Dr Slade broke the news with compassion and care. Despite being faced with my long list of questions, he did not bawlk responding with patience and empathy making every effort to ensure I was fully informed. He has taken great care to explain complicated medical facts in simple ways. As my mum didn't feel physically well enough to attend a recent appointment, Dr Slade was amenable to having a telephone appointment. I have every confidence in the advice and care provided by Dr Slade.

Dr Slade was clear and kind in his ministrations and very conscientious without being overbearing or patronising. Would highly recommend to anyone unfortunate enough to require his help.

Very matter of factly, my Mother was sadly diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Treatment was not going to make any difference and the side effects of any treatment could have made her worse. Dr Mark Slade telephoned my Mother at her home and I happened to take the call. He came across as being so gentle and empathic to my Mother’s condition that I knew it would be beneficial to her to meet him. Following our meeting, I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Slade. He treated my Mother with a great deal of care and compassion and made her feel at ease. There was no rush with the session; it felt as though it was a private consultation. Dr Slade advised her on balance, medication and suggested a support group to assist her with the condition. He asked her how she felt in general and answered in full, all her questions. He showed a great deal of understanding and made her feel as if someone cared. In our view, anyone who is a patient of Dr Slade is very fortunate.

Dr Slade explained my test results to me and listened to how I felt regarding the medicine I'd been prescribed.
