Dr Stephen Orme

I am a Consultant Endocrinologist with a special interest in pituitary diseases, thyroid and adrenal diseases, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. I do not specialise in diabetes.

I qualified from Manchester University (MB ChB) in 1984 and did medical rotations in Manchester and Liverpool. I attained my MRCP in 1988 and came to Leeds in January 1989 as a registrar in endocrinology and general internal medicine at the Leeds General Infirmary.

Between 1990 and 1993 I was a research fellow in the department of endocrinology at Leeds General Infirmary and moved to Sheffield as a senior registrar in 1993.

My areas of research include pituitary diseases, specifically acromegaly, thyroid and adrenal disease, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease.

I was awarded an MD in 1997 for major research into morbidity and mortality in acromegaly, and this research has informed the management of patients with acromegaly, worldwide.

I returned to Leeds in November 1997 as a consultant endocrinologist and honorary senior lecturer in medicine. Having retired from the NHS, I now conduct private practice only.
