Our people
The Critical Care Trials team is the clinical research arm of the Bloomsbury Institute of Intensive Care Medicine. The team includes the clinical lead, Dr David Brealey, and 5.3 whole-time equivalent research nurses. We aim to attract and deliver a wide portfolio of studies that are pertinent not just to Critical Care but the whole Emergency Pathway. As such, we frequently work outside the physical walls of Critical Care, recruiting patients across the hospital from the Emergency Department to Day Case Chemotherapy.
