Speaker
Professor Martin Burton
Martin Burton has been Master of Sidney Sussex College since September 2023. He moved back to Cambridge from Oxford where he was Director of Cochrane UK, the unit responsible for supporting the activities Cochrane contributors in the UK and Ireland. He was also Professor of Otolaryngology in the Nuffield Department of Surgery at the University of Oxford, an Honorary Consultant Otolaryngologist at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, and Fellow in Clinical Medicine at Balliol College.
He has now retired from clinical practice, but his interests were primarily otological – hearing loss, tinnitus, balance disorders and middle ear and mastoid surgery. He has always been interested in the application of evidence-based practice across all areas of health and social care, the promotion of public understanding of health research, and understanding how patients and health professionals can – together – handle uncertainty. His research focused on developing suites of high-quality systematic reviews, on those prioritised clinical topics in otolaryngology of most importance to patients and practitioners.
