Roger Lister Kneebone (born February 1954) is a British professor of surgical education at Imperial College London.
A graduate of St Andrews and Manchester universities, he performed trauma procedures in the war zones of Southern Africa before working as a general practitioner in Wiltshire and after completing a PhD.
[1] Over the next decade he established an innovative national training programme for minor surgery within the primary care setting, based around simulation, computer-based learning and intensive workshops.
[7] His published dialogue with instalment artist David Cotterrell concluded with one point being that a greater sense of truth and empathetic understanding could sometimes be obtained from historical medical sketches and paintings than from photographic images and that simulation challenges the "documentary framework".
[6] With his co-director Dr Fernando Bello, he guides the Imperial College Centre for Engagement and Simulation Science, established within the Chelsea & Westminster campus, aiming to bring together clinicians, scientists, patients, the public and experts outside medicine.
