We are pleased to announce that Max Sharpe has joined the First Contact Health team as a Clinical Specialist in Wellness Screening.

With a strong background in exercise physiology and a passion for health and performance, Max brings valuable expertise to our clinic.

A Strong Foundation in Sports & Exercise Science

Max’s journey into health and wellness began with a degree in Sport & Exercise Science at Nottingham Trent University, followed by an MRes in Exercise Physiology. Throughout his academic career, he developed a deep interest in VO2 max testing and VO2 kinetics, studying how the aerobic system responds to different exercise intensities. His research also extended to Respiratory Physiology, further enhancing his understanding of human performance and health.

Advancing Knowledge in Respiratory Physiology

For his primary research project, Max investigated the effects of quadriceps fatigue on perceptions of dyspnoea (breathing discomfort) during a CO2 rebreathing protocol. This work provided critical insights into the mechanics of human physiology, reinforcing his expertise in assessing and optimising health through advanced diagnostic techniques.

A New Chapter at First Contact Health

As a Clinical Specialist in Wellness Screening, Max will focus on assessing patients’ overall health using a range of advanced diagnostic tests. His goal is to provide scientifically driven wellness assessments, ensuring each patient receives the highest standard of support.
We are thrilled to have Max on board and look forward to the expertise and passion he brings to First Contact Health. Welcome to the team, Max!
