Early life and education
Christopher Bulstrode was born on 5 January 1951 in Guernsey, to radiologist John and Jacqueline Bulstrode.[2] He attended Radley College following his early education at Cheam School, where he notably interacted with the future King Charles III.[2]
Bulstrode's academic pursuits began with a strong interest in zoology, leading him to study under Nobel laureate, Konrad Lorenz in Bavaria.[2] This experience prompted a temporary shift from medicine to zoology at Oxford, where he led student expeditions.[2] However, he later returned to medicine, completing his education at Cambridge and Oxford.[2]
Career
Bulstrode's medical career began in Africa, where he worked in refugee camps and as a lecturer in veterinary pathology.[2] Later, he returned to the UK and changed his specialisation to trauma and orthopaedics.[2] He was known for his outspoken views on medical ethics and reform, particularly advocating for the rights of junior doctors and critiquing established medical practices.[2]
Bulstrode's later career included service as a trauma surgeon in the British Army, despite initial age-related challenges.[2][3] His deployment to Afghanistan was a notable period, where he contributed to healthcare restructuring and worked in refugee camps.[2] His post-military career involved emergency medicine in New Zealand and contributions to Doctors of the World. His service was recognised in 2016 when he was appointed CBE.[2]
Bulstrode died of a progressive neurodegenerative disorder on 7 December 2023.[2]
