Meet the team:

Prof. Michael Parker FRCR

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Michael is a consultant interventional radiologist working clinically in a large teaching hospital in the U.K. His non-clinical roles include clinical governance and being the head of radiology for two affiliated universities. He has extensive experience in inception and development of private clinics.

He realised early in his medical career that we often look at healthcare systems from the wrong angle; looking at the what, rather than the why. This was his inspiration for creating Salus Analytics, harnessing his lived experiences in healthcare striving for novel ways to improve outcomes for patients and hospitals alike.

Alongside his clinical practice, Michael has been supporting major drug developments; utilising machine learning to identify previously unseen patient metrics to facilitate improved patient outcomes with various oncological therapies.
