About me

Dr Rachel Hoyles is a consultant respiratory physician who is experienced in managing all respiratory conditions and has specialist expertise in interstitial lung disease. She provides comprehensive advice on the investigation and treatment of breathlessness, coughing, wheezing, abnormal Xrays and scans, lung scarring and inflammation (interstitial lung disease), asthma, smoking-related lung diseases including COPD, lung infection, and a broad range of general respiratory conditions. Dr Hoyles spends time to listen and get to the bottom of a problem if at all possible.

Alongside her private practice, Dr Rachel Hoyles works in the NHS at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is the lead clinician for the Oxford Interstitial Lung Disease Service; her unit is one of few NHS England recognised specialist centres for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and an anti-fibrotic prescribing centre.

Dr Rachel Hoyles qualified in Cambridge and trained in London centred around the Royal Brompton Hospital before taking up her current consultant role in the Oxford Centre for Respiratory Medicine in 2009. She completed a successful clinical and translational PhD project at the Royal Brompton and Royal Free Hospitals investigating the role of lung injury in scleroderma-associated lung fibrosis. The PhD research culminated in winning the prestigious BTS/BLF Early Career Investigator of the Year Prize in 2008 and selection of her work to be presented at the American Thoracic Society 'Outstanding Science Symposium: Scientific Breakthroughs of the Year' in 2008.

Rachel has a national profile in ILD and is a regular speaker at national conferences. She was a previous member of the ILD Specialist Advisory Group for the British Thoracic Society and has held an advisory role with the British Lung Foundation.
