Dr. Maurice Slevin is a medical oncologist who practised at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and at Leaders in Oncology Care (LOC) in Harley Street, of which he was a founder partner. Dr. Slevin graduated from the University of Cape Town and did his postgraduate training at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town and St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians.
His research was focused on clinical pharmacology, particularly related to Etoposide [1] and Cytosine Arabinoside [2] as well as Psychosocial Oncology [3]. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers in academic journals and has an h-index of 56, according to Google scholar [4].

Controversial Papers
Dr. Maurice Slevin published controversial papers on the running of the NHS, suggesting reform was more important than increased funding [7] [8] [9] and that there were almost as many NHS managers as there were nurses, a claim that was slammed by the NHS federation[10]. He was a founder member of Doctors for Reform[11][12], a group of 1000 consultants who advocated a social insurance model of funding the NHS.
