- Profile
-
Hugh Jones is a world-leader researching the role of testosterone deficiency in the pathogenesis of Heart disease and Diabetes and the therapeutic benefits of testosterone replacement therapy in these conditions. He is a member of national and international guideline committees for the diagnosis and treatment of Male Testosterone Deficiency.
He studied Biochemistry BSc(Hons) (1972-1975) and then Medicine (1975-1980) at Sheffield University. I then trained as a junior doctor in Sheffield and Barnsley attaining MRCP(UK) 1984. This was followed by Clinical Research Fellow in the Department of Human Metabolism and Biochemistry (1985-1988) and then was appointing as Lecturer in Medicine both at University of Sheffield (1988-1993).As Consultant Physician with special interest in Diabetes and Endocrinology firstly in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital 1984-1998 and then Barnsley Hospital (1998 to present).
He has led clinical and laboratory teams which have made important contributions which include being first to demonstrate that testosterone reduces Insulin Resistance, improves glycaemic control (HbA1c) and quality of life in men with type 2 diabetes with hypogonadism. He identified that 40% of men with Type 2 Diabetes have symptomatic testosterone deficiency (male hypogonadism).
Professor Jones is one of the founder members of the international Androgen Society formed in 2017. He has been on the Guideline committees for Testosterone Deficiency and it s management for the European Association of Urology, British Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Consensus of Sexual Medicine. He has also been Chair of the Academic sub-committee for the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists, Chair Of Specialist Education Committee for spR training in Diabetes and Endocrinology for the Three Deaneries-Leicester, Nottingham and South Yorkshire, Training Programme Director for spR’s in Diabetes and Endocrinology in South Yorkshire.
