Summary

Anaesthetists and intensive care doctors provide care to a broad spectrum of people - from completely healthy people having minor surgery, through to people with life-threatening injuries and illnesses.

Although major advances have been made resulting in much improved outcomes, we know that overall in-hospital mortality after surgery is still around 3.5%. Our research is focussed on addressing ways of addressing this:

  • improving our understanding of how the lungs, circulation and kidneys work in critical illness

  • clinical studies investigating new ways of caring for elderly patients with hip fracture

  • understanding and improving the safety of healthcare delivery in the peri-operative period. 

Core research themes/topics include:

patient safety computational modelling hip fracture ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia vascular biology acute kidney injury
