Miss Aimee Di Marco

I am involved in the following COVID-specific projects:

• The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on endocrine surgery ‘Predict-Endocrine’
• The psychological effects of delayed treatment for thyroid cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic: a collaboration with Sydney Universit

I was awarded the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Gold Medal for the best performance in the Intercollegiate Examination for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons.

I am a member of:

• The Royal College of Surgeons of England (Fellow)
• The British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons
• The European Society of Endocrine Surgeons
• The International Association of Endocrine Surgeons
• The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries

My current teaching posts include:

• Honorary Senior Lecturer, Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College
• Imperial College MBBS Medicine: Lead for curriculum review of phase 3 in surgery and cancer
• BSc in Surgical Innovation, Imperial College (2019-20): Lead for Module 2 ‘Clinical Science in Context’.
• BSc in Endocrinology, Imperial College (2019-20): Project/Dissertation Supervisor

I have performed minimally invasive thyroid/parathyroid surgery, laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomies.

I also have an interest in the use of surgical technology and, as such, have researched the use of intraoperative fluorescence in thyroid/parathyroid surgery.

I use a nerve monitoring system in all patients undergoing neck endocrine surgery and intraoperative parathyroid surgery where appropriate.

During my training I was an Academic Clinical Lecturer for the National Institute for Health Research. I have co-authored papers on multiple aspects of endocrine surgery and I continue to be actively engaged in research. Current projects include:

• Primary hyperparathyroidism in women of reproductive age
• Technology in endocrine surgery – the use of intra-operative fluorescence imaging and development of a transoral surgical program
