Resuscitation Guidelines Session: Process, Pioneering, Presumptuous
Saturday, November 8, 2025, 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Presentation Title: Presumptuous?: What we do on the other side of the pond!
Gavin Perkins, MBE, FMedSci, FERC, is Professor of Critical Care Medicine and Dean of Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick. For more than three decades, he has been at the forefront of resuscitation science, combining academic leadership with clinical practice in the West Midlands region of the UK.
Internationally recognised for his contributions to resuscitation research, Professor Perkins established the PARAMEDIC group and led multi-centre trials evaluating mechanical chest compression devices, adrenaline, and intraosseous vascular access. He has secured over £20 million in research funding and published more than 450 peer-reviewed papers, including landmark contributions to NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, and BMJ.
Professor Perkins has played a defining role in global resuscitation guidelines. As past Chair of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines Committee, he led development of the 2021 ERC Guidelines. He is President of Resuscitation Council UK, Director of Research for the ERC, and a longstanding leader within the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. He co-led international consensus work on the Utstein template for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest reporting and as well as the Core Outcome Set for Cardiac Arrest (COSCA) trials, both of which have enhanced the comparability, quality, and patient-centredness of resuscitation research. His contributions also include transforming Advanced Life Support training through blended learning, establishing the UK OHCA Outcomes Registry as well as shaping national CPR and defibrillation policy.
A dedicated mentor, Professor Perkins has supervised over 20 PhD students and championed diversity across international resuscitation organisations. His work spans every link in the chain of survival, with enduring global impact on science, education, and patient outcomes.
