About Henry Marsh
Henry Marsh was born in 1950. He read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University, then studied medicine at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He gained Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1984, and in 1987 he took up a consultant neurosurgeon post at Atkinson Morley's/St George's Hospital in London. He pioneered awake craniotomy techniques and neurosurgical work in Ukraine. Do No Harm is a bestselling memoir, and Admissions was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle award. And Finally came after both of them. Two documentaries have been made about him: Your Life in Their Hands won a Royal Television Society Gold Medal, and The English Surgeon won an Emmy. He was made a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 2010. His wife is Kate Fox, an anthropologist and writer.
