Sign up for the whole seriesFrom Everest to the ICU: Master the Gold Standard of Clinical Physiology
A 5-Part Masterclass Series on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) for the Modern Clinician.
Â
You see it every day: the patient with "unexplained" breathlessness, the weekend warrior pushing their limits, or the high-risk surgical candidate. Standard resting tests only tell half the story. To truly understand a patient, you have to see them in motion.
Join our world-renowned physiologist, who has analysed the limits of human performance from the slopes of Everest to NHS Critical Care, for a deep dive into the science of CPET. Whether you want to sharpen your exercise prescriptions or finally make sense of those complex data reports, this series is your roadmap.

 Jim Pate is a senior Physiologist and Lab Manager at Marylebone Health. Jim specialises in Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing and heads up the group's Exercise Physiology services.
Jim’s career began when he studied his BSc at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Biology and Chemistry before going on to study a Masters in Health and Disease at Birkbeck, University of London. Jim is now currently studying towards his PhD, looking at clinical applications of Exercise physiology.
Jim also lectures at UCL, as well as carrying out research there. Before joining Marylebone Health, Jim not only worked in the NHS but also spent some time working at Everest Base Camp on the Extreme Everest Expedition, looking at how extreme conditions affect performance, survival and longevity.
Jim was also a competitive swimmer and is a keen cyclist himself. Jim works primarily with clients preparing for sporting events & extreme challenges and, returning clients to fitness post-op. Jim also works closely with Cardiologists and oncologists improving fitness of pre and post-operative clinical patients.
Jim’s clinical interests lie in Cardiac risk stratification and exercise Oncology. He's probably tested more people than anyone else in the U.K!
