About Dr John Christopher Kingswood

Dr. John Kingswood is a Senior Consultant in Renal Medicine and Hypertension, providing expert care at the Sussex Nuffield Hospital.

After qualifying in medicine from Guy’s Hospital in 1977 (MBBS, MRCS LRCP), he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP) in 1994. His dedication to advancing medical education led him to complete an MSc in Medical Education at the University of Brighton in 2012.

Dr. Kingswood specialises in the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases and high blood pressure, combining deep clinical knowledge with a compassionate, personalised approach. He works closely with patients to develop tailored treatment plans that promote long-term health and wellbeing.

I saw Dr Kingswood today with my elderly father. He took time to listen and explain. He has an excellent ‘bedside manner’ and is a very thorough consultant. We will be seeing him again for a follow up appointment
