About Jean McEwan:
In 1981, Jean McEwan moved from Glasgow, first to Nottingham and then to Hammersmith Hospital in London, to train in General Medicine and Cardiology. It was here that her interest in Vascular Biology was nurtured. For the past 15 years she has continued to develop her interest and skills, while based at the Royal Free and University College London Medical School, the UCLH, NHS Foundation Trust and the Heart Hospital, where she is a Reader in Cardiology, an Honorary Consultant Cardiologist and the Director of Clinical Teaching.
Jean is married to Mike Almond, a Nephrologist in Southend. They have a daughter aged 16 and twins aged 13. Her continued enthusiasm for Medicine, and Cardiology in particular, is counterbalanced by her enjoyment of music and travel with her family.
