Why you should attend

Resuscitation Science Symposium

Join multidisciplinary discussions on the latest in resuscitation science and practice implementation in emergency settings. Build your network and knowledge by engaging with critical care and emergency professionals.

This is an international forum geared towards lively discussions focusing on recent advances in treating cardiopulmonary arrest, discussing bench-to-bedside and community-based research findings related to cardiopulmonary and resuscitation science, emergency cardiovascular care, and CPR quality improvement in adults and pediatrics. Engage with multidisciplinary peers and build your network at every stage of your career.

More about Dr. Perkins

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.
