Brief overview of Research Background/ activity:
Prior to my consultant appointment I was employed as a Clinical Lecturer in Anaesthesia by the University of Nottingham. During this time I was able to learn a wide variety of research and laboratory techniques and I gained an appreciation of the unique challenges posed by cellular research. I have been fortunate to gain experience at every level of a successful research project, from planning and protocol development, grant application, gaining Ethics Committee approval, subject recruitment, statistical analysis, presentation at meetings and ultimately, submission for publication.
I have extensive knowledge of the processes surrounding research proposals, most notably co-authoring a successful grant application to the National Institute for Health Research for Patient Benefit Programme for the sum of £133 000.
For the past three years I have been an external advisor for the Neuroanaesthetic Society of Great Britain & Ireland Scientific Affairs Committee. This has involved the reviewing of research abstracts submitted to the Annual Scientific Meeting to determine their suitability for presentation and subsequent publication in the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology.
I have maintained an active research role throughout my anaesthetic career and continued to publish articles regularly. I am regularly invited to author chapters for textbooks and I was an editor for the Oxford Handbook of Neuroanaesthesia.
I have a particular interest in medical education and training. To this end I completed my Masters in Medical Education in 2012. As a result I have gained knowledge in the theories and practical aspects underlying teaching, assessment, informatics and simulation.
