Profile

I took a scholarship to read Natural Sciences at Balliol College Oxford. After a basic sciences degree in Physiology, training at Oxford University Medical School and experience in acute medicine, I completed specialist training in anaesthesia in the Midlands. As a Lecturer/Senior Registrar, I acquired formal training in clinical trials and applied health research with Birmingham University Department of Public Health & Epidemiology.

After working for as an NHS consultant in tertiary centres in the UK and US, including University of Birmingham, Washington Medical Centre, Seattle, and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, I was awarded a NIHR "Clinician Scientist" Fellowship in 2011.

I brought the award to the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) at Sheffield University in 2014, to pursue high quality applied health research in anaesthesia, acute pain and perioperative medicine. ScHARR and its allied Clinical Research Trials Unit is a recognised international centre of excellence in Health Services Research, Decision Science and Health Economic Analysis. I am an expert in the fields of applied health research, quantative clinical trials and health technology evaluation in perioperative medicine and reproductive health.

I have built a grant portfolio exceeding £10M for studies seeking new standards of practice in perioperative medicine and anaesthesia. I have lead 3 national multicenter randomized trials, (BUMPES, SALVO and RESPITE), recruiting over 6700 participants Each resulted in immediate NHS practice change and generated high impact publications eligible for “4-star” rating under the Research Excellence framework, 2021.

My current research projects are directed toward the prediction and prevention of new onset Atrial Fibrillation after cancer resection surgery (AFAR), the epigenetics of epidural related maternal fever (EPIFEVER), the prevention and treatment of post-operative delirium and an evaluation of “Remote Ischaemic Pre-conditioning” in reducing myocardial injury in emergency laparotomy. I’ve worked closely with surgical and CTRU colleagues to complete a series of Systematic Reviews in peri-operative medicine.

I supervise and mentor Academic Clinical Fellows, NIHR Clinical Lecturers and Intermediate Fellows. I am director of MB ChB Public Health Module teaching for student doctors in Sheffield. Since, 2017, I have served as Grants Officer to the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia, with responsibility for supervising the peer review and allocation of funds administered by all grants awarded by the NIAA. This includes its co-founders, The Royal College of Anaesthetists, The Association of Anaesthetists, Great Britain and Ireland, British Journal of Anaesthesia and affiliated bodies (Subspecialist Societies). Approximately £1.3 M funds are administered in 2 grant-round cycles per year.

I served for 3 years with the National Institute of Health Research, Health Technology Assessment as a member of the “interventional Procedures” Panel. I have been recently appointed National Specialty Lead, NIHR CRN Anaesthesia, Perioperative Medicine & Pain Research.
