Our ophthalmologists

Jeremy Diamond

Consultant ophthalmologist

Will Sheehan

Consultant ophthalmologist

I was born in 1961 and went to school in Cambridge. I studied medicine at the University of Bristol between 1979 and 1984, qualifying with MBChB. My post-graduate training was undertaken in Bristol and Cheltenham, gaining higher surgical qualifications in 1990 (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons – FRCS and Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists – FRCOphth).

I completed a research PhD in 1994 under the auspices of Professor David Easty in the University of Bristol Department of Ophthalmology, after studying the biochemistry of eye infection.

During 1995, I undertook a Clinical Fellowship in Perth, Western Australia, working with Phil House and Bill Morgan (glaucoma) and Geoff Crawford (corneal surgery).

I was appointed consultant at the Bristol Eye Hospital in 1996.

I joined Newmedica when it was established in 2007 and have been a medical director ever since.

I grew up in Lincolnshire and attended school in Stamford, before moving on to the University of Bristol where I studied medicine from 1995-2001, graduating with MBChB (Hons).

I undertook my post-graduate training in ophthalmology at hospitals throughout the south-west of England, and completed this in 2012 when I was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOphth).

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family, playing squash, and running cross-country ultramarathons.

I have worked as a consultant ophthalmologist with Newmedica since 2014.
