Dr Jonathan Williamson is a respiratory and sleep physician who trained in Sydney, interstate and overseas in Heidelberg, Germany. He is a Consultant Respiratory and Sleep Physician at Liverpool Hospital and a Visiting Medical Officer at Macquarie University Hospital. He consults in rooms at Macquarie University Clinic. Dr Williamson's practice covers a wide range of respiratory and sleep pathologies including asthma, COPD, lung and airway infections, emphysema, sleep disorders and lung cancer with a sub specialised interest in airway interventions including rigid bronchoscopy, cryotherapy, endoscopic valves, airway stents and managing central airway obstruction.

After completing his respiratory and sleep training in NSW Dr Jonathan Williamson undertook PhD studies at the University of Western Australia investigating new ways to image the lungs. Dr Jonathan Williamson directs the interventional bronchoscopy unit at Liverpool Hospital with access to the latest state of the art equipment for advanced bronchoscopic interventions. He also performs procedures at Macquarie University Hospital working collaboratively with other interventional bronchoscopists in a centre supported by Olympus Australia as the NSW bronchoscopy centre of excellence. Dr Williamson is co-convener of the Interventional Pulmonology Special Interest Group of the TSANZ and an executive member of the Australian and NZ Interventional Pulmonology research network ANZIP.
