Dr Iain McCullagh's research experience
I trained in anaesthesia and intensive care in Edinburgh and Toronto. Following the completion of my training, I was appointed as a consultant at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle in 2012.
After undergoing some local research training, I began leading portfolio studies in intensive care and anaesthesia as a principle investigator (PI) and then went on to develop my own work in the field of postoperative delirium with a regional multi-centre study completing in 2018. This work is being further developed with the help of contacts I have made after joining the chief investigator (CI) scheme.
Currently, I am currently completing a masters in research in at Newcastle University and I am engaged in developing grant applications with POMCTN and with Newcastle based intensive care researchers.
