Jon is an Academic Clinical Lecturer in Endocrinology within the Institute for Metabolism and Systems Research. He trained at the University of Oxford obtaining a 1^st class degree in medicine with a distinction in his MBchB. He then undertook early training in Birmingham as an Academic Foundation program doctor and then NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow before returning to Oxford to undertake his DPhil. This focused on the metabolic consequences of intermittent hypoxia. He then returned to Birmingham in his current position which combines ongoing clinical training as an ST6 Registrar in Endocrinology alongside academic work. His principle interests are complex endocrine obesity (the interaction between obesity and endocrinopathies) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. His interests include lifestyle interventions, pharmacological treatments and bariatric surgery and he works across these three areas within his clinical and academic work. He is a strong advocate of people-first language and person centred care and tries to incorporate this passion to his clinical and academic work. He works closely with patient representatives to design his studies looking to combine QoL data and mechanistic in vivo human physiology as well as studies of existing databases.

Dr Hazlehurst presents research on the nature of the connection between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and fatty liver disease.
