    Improving outcomes of childrens’ surgery through randomised controlled trials

     

    Nigel is passionate about improving outcomes of children requiring surgery through generation of high quality evidence to underpin contemporary surgical practice. He has led several national and international randomised controlled trials on a number of conditions and investigating a variety of interventions including minimally invasive surgery, critical care techniques and non-operative treatment of surgical conditions. He has led initiatives to ensure that patient views are at the heart of these studies by embedding public and patient involvement (PPI) within research teams and developing core outcome sets ensuring that outcomes measured are patient centred, meaningful and relevant.

    Understanding pathophysiology and improving outcomes of necrotising enterocolitis

    Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease that affects mainly preterm babies and continues to cause real morbidity mortality in the 21st century. This is despite improvements in other outcomes of neonatal care. Current initiatives include generating an understanding of contemporary outcomes to inform the need for ongoing research, investigation of remote ischaemic conditioning as a possible preventive or therapeutic strategy for NEC, understanding surgical decision making and timing of surgery in babies with NEC, and the development of novel biomarkers to aid the earlier identification of infants who require surgery.
