Cllr. Kelvin Wright

Kelvin was co-opted by the Parish Council in November 2023.

Kelvin Wright commenced medical training in 1987 at Kings College London and then Kings College Hospital. Early on he developed an interest in trauma and spent his elective in Washington DC at MedSTAR – Uniformed Services Trauma Centre.

After completing a surgical training programme (FRCS) he decided that a career in Emergency Medicine facilitated his interest in trauma, critical care and teaching. A decision to extend training and become dual accredited as a Consultant in both EM and Critical Care led to his post as a Consultant at Frimley Park Hospital.

While he was training programme director for Acute Care he decided to join the military and commissioned in 2010, leaving RMA Sandhurst in January 2011 and deploying in October 2011 to Afghanistan and then again in 2012.

He was the Clinical Director of the South West London and Surrey Trauma Network, leading the network for 9 years in the top quarter of major trauma networks in the UK.

He was appointed Commanding Officer 335MER in November 2018 as a Lt Colonel.

The Advanced Staff and Command Course developed an interest in the wider military system and the role of the military in the branding of UK PLC. He was invited to return as a member of the directing staff and it also helped nurture an understanding of staff matters.

He was then appointed as CO 306 Hospital Support Regiment with effect from October 2020 at the rank of full Colonel.

A 15 year career as a consultant in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care at Frimley Park Hospital  has now moved to Mansfield post COVID. Kelvin is employed as a specialist in Critical Care at Kingsmill Hospital.

Kelvin is married to Nancy and enjoys model making, walking and fish keeping both marine and outdoor. The house is also occupied by two cats and a pet royal python.
