Dr. Bodansky qualified from the University of Liverpool with the degree of MB ChB (Hons) in 1974, winning the Sir Robert Kelly Gold Medal. He held a variety of junior hospital training posts in Liverpool, gaining experience in general medicine, surgery, casualty and psychiatry, passing the MRCP exam in London in 1978. He then became a research fellow at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, where he undertook research into the cause of diabetic complications.

This work led to the award of an MD degree by Liverpool University in 1983. He then underwent further training in diabetes and endocrinology in Leeds. In 1989, he was appointed as a consultant physician, specialising in diabetes and general medicine at the Leeds General Infirmary. This is a large teaching hospital, affiliated to the University of Leeds. In 1995, he was elected FRCP (London). Dr. Bodansky is a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the university and teaches aspects of diabetes and general medicine to medical students and postgraduate doctors.

Many overseas doctors are attached to his team for further experience. He was formally the Clinical Director for diabetes and endocrinology for the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He directs the retinal screening programme for the prevention of diabetic eye disease in Leeds, the biggest trust in the U.K.
