Critical Care and Peri-operative Medicine Group
Mutidisciplinary Group
Within our team we have a wide range of research expertise allowing us to tackle research questions through a variety of research methods from laboratory experiments to large clinical trials, epidemiological studies and qualitative research. Our research is carried out at our hospitals: the Royal London, St Bartholomew's, Newham, Whipps Cross and in the laboratory facilities at the William Harvey Research Institute.

Manchester Academic Critical Care (MACC)
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
Mutidisciplinary Group
Manchester Academic Critical Care (MACC) is a collaboration between The University of Manchester’s teaching hospitals. Our research focuses on data synthesis and hypothesis testing in the critically ill. We develop research skills in local researchers and trainees through placements on our projects. We conduct novel and innovative primary research, partner with industry, and support recruitment to NIHR portfolio studies.

Yes. Medical and non-medical opportunities for a wide range of staff at all levels. Flexible opportunities to combine research roles with clinical commitments with support to undertake full or part-time higher degrees.
Our purpose is to develop a collaborative academic centre of excellence with an international reputation, delivering significant benefits to critically ill patients in Manchester and beyond.
Our priority areas are:
rapid diagnosis and optimal precision management of infection;
optimal management of acute and chronic respiratory failure;
optimal management of tracheostomy and the airway;
preparation, perioperative management and rehabilitation of high-risk surgical patients who require critical care.
Our research focuses on data synthesis and hypothesis testing in the critically ill.
We collaborate with industry to deliver a diverse portfolio of trials.
We have a strong track record in securing grant funding to answer new questions.
We deliver NIHR portfolio studies across the 11 hospital sites in our Trust.
Queen’s University of Belfast Critical Care Research Group
Mutidisciplinary Group
The Belfast critical care research group is a highly productive, growing, multidisciplinary research group encompassing all aspects of critical illness.
We have a range of interests from basic science, translational research, clinical trials and evidence synthesis, encompassing paediatric and adult emergency medicine, critical care, and perioperative medicine. Our diverse background includes scientists, physicians, nurses and allied health professionals.
We work closely with the Intensive Care Units at Royal Victoria Hospital (regional trauma and neurosurgical centre, 32 beds) and Belfast City Hospital (elective surgery, haem-oncology centre, 10 beds), and with other clinical departments in the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. The Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine in which we are based is a state-of-the-art research environment for laboratory science, and we work closely with the NI Clinical Research Facility for early phase clinical trials.
We welcome interest from potential collaborators, students, or research fellows, and are always happy to discuss opportunities to come and work with us, either in person here in Belfast or remotely wherever you are.

Prof Lui Forni
Professor of Critical Care, QUB / Consultant in Critical Care Belfast Health and Social Care Trust
Lui’s main research interests are Acute Kidney Injury including the use of novel biomarkers for early detection as well as novel therapies including new pharmaceuticals as well as blood purification techniques. Further research on kidney replacement therapies investigating effects on myocardial performance and prediction of haemodynamic instability.
Dr Ben Creagh-Brown
Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine
Ben’s main research interests are the prevention of complications of surgery (pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological and muscular), and the complications of sepsis, particularly pneumonia.
Both are involved in the international observational study named squeeze (squeezestudy.com) which has recruited over 15,000 perioperative patients to date (Jan 22).

Royal Surrey offers research fellowships (50:50) in intensive care and/or anaesthesia, with clinical research. We have good experience of supervising MD and PhDs with this arrangement.
Edinburgh Critical Care Research Group
The Edinburgh Critical Care Research Group (ECCRG) is an enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary team, whose bench to bedside approach to research bridges from basic science through to large-scale clinical projects.
Within critical care, our research covers a wide range of areas including sedation, blood transfusion, genomics, sepsis, inflammation and optical imaging. Our neuroscience work focusses on the management of traumatic brain injury, and our team collaborates with University basic science colleagues in this area. We are also very interested in recovery from critical illness and have a multidisciplinary group of doctors, nurses, dietitians and physiotherapists all working together for the benefit of critical care patients.
The group also supports an expanding perioperative research portfolio where we have strong links with colleagues in surgery and anaesthesia.
Members of the ECCRG has extensive expertise in epidemiology and health services research, in particular, to use large linked databases in Scotland and the UK, to study outcomes following critical care and major surgery.
