Talks & Teaching

I speak regularly on perioperative diabetes management, kidney protection during cardiac surgery, and the research programme behind both — for conferences, society meetings, hospital grand rounds, and teaching sessions.

Available to speak. I’m happy to be invited to speak about my research, or related subjects in perioperative medicine, at conferences, society meetings, or similar events. Get in touch to discuss a talk.

Subjects I speak on

Most talks sit at the intersection of perioperative diabetes management and kidney protection during cardiac surgery — the two research lines described on the research programme page — alongside a handful of recurring topics from day-to-day anaesthetic practice.

Perioperative diabetes management SGLT2 inhibitors & GLP-1 receptor agonists Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury Incretin-based therapies Renal & tissue oxygenation Depth-of-anaesthesia monitoring Transfusion medicine Drug allergy in anaesthesia Induction agents Neuro-critical care Procedural sedation Research methodology & statistics The role of the anaesthetist

Study-specific talks are usually built around named trials and projects, including GLOBE, MERCURI-1 and MERCURI-2, ELECTRIC, Rubicon, NEPTUNE, CORTISLEEP, and BREATH — see the research programme for details on each.
