Dr David Butteriss is a Consultant Neuroradiologist at Newcastle’s Neurosciences Centre specialising in neuro-oncology, stroke, neuro-ophthalmology and spinal procedures, including management of spinal CSF leaks.
David qualified from University College London and Middlesex Medical School top of his year in 1999, and narrowly missed out on the University of London Gold Medicine after forgetting when Kelloggs started fortifying corn flakes with vitamins and minerals (1948 in the UK). He began training in radiology in Newcastle in 2001.
After passing the Fellowship examinations in 2004 he decided to specialise in Neuroradiology and undertook a two year Fellowship at Newcastle General Hospital, which included the Boston Scientific Neurointerventional Fellowship, then the only dedicated Neurointerventional fellowship in the UK.
After an international Fellowship in Vancouver, Canada in 2007 he returned to his radiological Alma Mater as a Consultant in 2008. He has developed sub-speciality interests in adult neuro-oncology, stroke, neuro-ophthalmology and spinal procedures, including management of spinal CSF leaks.
David has multiple publications in peer reviewed journals and is a keen educator, lecturing on national and international courses and meetings.
