Dr Leah Williams

I graduated with Distinction from Newcastle University in 2019 with an MBBS (Hons). After completing foundation training in the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, I started work as a Clinical Teaching Fellow at Sunderland Royal Hospital - teaching the first cohort of the University of Sunderland School of Medicine.

While working as a Clinical Teaching Fellow, I studied towards a master's in Medical Education and graduated with Distinction in 2023. This research, alongside my interests in simulation and clinical reasoning, prompted me to take up the position of Phase 1 Simulation Lead and OSCE Co-Lead at the University of Sunderland School of Medicine. In this role, I work closely with the assessments team to deliver a suite of clinical assessments for our first and second-year medical students. I am also responsible for designing a delivering a novel curriculum of early years simulation experience to help our students prepare for clinical practice.

I currently work across both clinical medicine and medical education. In my clinical role, I am a Clinical Radiology Trainee within the Northern School of Radiology.
