Simon Nicholas Marshall

Simon Nicholas Marshall initially obtained a degree in biomedical sciences from Queen Mary and Westfield University. He then trained as a physiotherapist at GlasgowCaledonianUniversity before realising his dream of becoming a doctor. He started anaesthetic training in Exeter in 2008, and in 2014 undertook a year’s advanced airways fellowship in Perth, Western Australia, which was a defining moment in his career. In 2015 he took up his first consultant post in Taunton, and in 2018 moved back to Exeter, where he was still working as a consultant anaesthetist until a few weeks before his death. Even after his diagnosis in 2022, Simonmaintainedhis amazingwork ethic anddedication, returning towork shortly after his treatment ended, which he found both personally and professionally rewarding. He was best known for his fantastic teaching, wise words, difficult airway expertise, and business acumen. He was interested in (and excelled at) most sports, especially hockey, cricket, and rugby. However, it is his wicked sense of humour that colleagues and friends will remember, and miss, the most. Simon leaves his wife, Libby, and their two sons.
