After studying as a full scholar at Dulwich College, Dr Robinson was awarded an exhibition by St John’s College to study medical sciences at the world-famous Cambridge University. During this time, he attended clinical studies training at St Thomas’ hospital in London, before graduating from Cambridge University in 1987.
Following his graduation, Dr Robinson was appointed cardiology registrar at King’s College and then senior registrar and clinical lecturer at St Bartholomew’s and the London Chest Hospitals.
