Annemarie leads ICU-HEART. This multi-disciplinary collaboration aims to revolutionise the care of Intensive Care patients by harnessing novel approaches in the use of technology and high dimensional data. Our two exemplar projects - diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and multimorbidity - combine key unanswered research priorities with the need for data driven innovation.
Prof Gavin Perkins is Dean of Medicine at Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick, Honorary Professor of Critical Care Medicine at University Hospitals Birmingham and Non-Executive Director at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. He has published over 500 papers and played a key role in developing the evidence base relating to cardiac arrest through his leadership of the UK National Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes Registry and the PARAMEDIC trials (PARAMEDIC-1, mechanical CPR, PARAMEDIC-2, adrenaline for cardiac arrest; PARAMEDIC-3 IV versus IO access) as well as research on CPR Feedback and Debriefing. Working with colleagues from across the UK, he played a key role in the underpinning research which informed the Recommended Emergency Care Treatment Plans (ReSPECT). His contribution to clinical research has been recognised through election as a Fellow to the Academy of Medical Sciences, appointment as a National Institute for Health Research Senior Investigator, honorary membership of the Resuscitation Council UK, European Resuscitation Council and Intensive Care Society and recognition as a Resuscitation Giant by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. Clarivate have identified him as a highly cited researcher, ranking in the top 1% of scientists in the world. As a Masters graduate in Medical Education, Prof Perkins prides himself in the organisation and delivery of high quality, research-led teaching to students and healthcare professionals at Warwick and around the world. Although his role now primarily focuses on leadership he has led the development of novel undergraduate and postgraduate teaching which had an impact on thousands of students and the patients they treat. Prior to taking up the role of Dean he served as Director of Warwick Clinical Trials Unit, Director of Research for the Intensive Care Society and as a MERIT Consultant with West Midlands Ambulance Service for which he received the Queens Jubilee Medals for Pre-hospital Care.
