Gareth Clegg MB ChB, BSc, MRCP, PhD, FCEM

Gareth Clegg trained in Emergency Medicine in Edinburgh having completed undergraduate degrees in Medicine and Psychology. He started research work early in the course of EM training - initially looking with Professor Colin Robertson at whether the ventricular fibrillation ECG waveform could be used to guide real time resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest. He then completed a PhD in cell biology as a Wellcome Clinical Research Fellow and went on to complete a CSO Intermediate Fellowship at the MRC Centre for Inflammation Research in Edinburgh looking at the process of lung epithelial repair after acute lung injury. He now works as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at in the Queen’s Medical Research Institute at Edinburgh University and Honorary Consultant in Emergency Medicine at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.

Gareth is co-founder of the Emergency Medicine Research Group in Edinburgh (EMERGE) and leads the Resuscitation Research Group, a collaborative involving Edinburgh University, the Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS Lothian. Research interests include the physiology and clinical management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, non-technical skills in time critical resuscitation, and the physiology of fluid resuscitation. The group coordinates the TOPCAT2 project and 3RU team along with a range of other projects relating to all all elements of the OHCA response ‘system’ summarised in the Chain of Survival.
