Dr Prashant Bamania

Dr Prashant Bamania, UK Consultant Radiologist

Dr Prashant Bamania (MBBS, BSc, FRCR) is a Consultant Radiologist with specialist interests in musculoskeletal imaging, cardiothoracic imaging and advanced cardiac CT. He currently practises in the NHS.

He studied medicine at the prestigious Imperial College London. After his foundation year training he completed specialist radiology training at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and holds Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR). His training has included an Advanced Cardiac CT Fellowship at the world-renowned Royal Brompton Hospital, where he developed experience in complex cardiac imaging. Additionally he completed subspecialist training in general and musculoskeletal radiology at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, with experience in musculoskeletal imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures.

Alongside his clinical work, Dr Bamania has a longstanding interest in medical education and making complex health information easier to understand. He has taught medical students, junior doctors and radiology trainees, presented work nationally and internationally, and contributed to medical publications and educational programmes.

He created Live, Onward to bring together evidence-based health information, medical imaging, prevention and the human stories behind illness and recovery.

Through articles, short-form video, expert conversations and the upcoming Live, Onward podcast, his aim is to help people better understand what is happening inside their bodies, prepare more confidently for medical tests, make sense of health information and hear from people whose lives have changed unexpectedly.

A central part of Dr Bamania's approach is using medical imaging as a visual tool for education. Scans can help explain disease, treatment and recovery in a way that is often much easier to understand than medical terminology alone. Where patient stories are featured, imaging is used only when appropriate and with explicit consent.

Live, Onward also explores the wider factors that influence how well we live — including cardiovascular health, physical activity, strength, sleep, healthy ageing and prevention.

Medical content published through Live, Onward is designed to be clear, evidence-based and referenced, using peer-reviewed research and established clinical guidance wherever appropriate.

Live, Onward

Understand your health. Hear the stories. Live Fuller.

Dr Bamania founded Live, Onward with a simple goal: to create health content that is scientifically credible without being unnecessarily complicated.

The platform is continuing to grow, with new health guides, scan explainers, expert perspectives, videos and long-form conversations being added regularly.

Sometimes the story is captured in an image.

For guests whose journey involved illness or injury, relevant medical imaging may occasionally form part of the conversation.

As a Consultant Radiologist, Dr Prashant Bamania can explain selected images in straightforward language, helping connect what appeared on a scan with what that moment meant to the person living through it.

Imaging is completely optional and is only used with the guest's explicit permission.

The scan is never the story.

The person is.
