Dr Zane Perkins
I am a consultant Trauma & General (Upper Gastrointestinal) surgeon at the Royal London Hospital and a consultant in prehospital care with London’s Air Ambulance. I studied medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, where my keen interest in the care of the critically injured developed. Since then, I have trained in busy trauma systems in Johannesburg, Durban, and London. I completed UK higher surgical training in the Kent, Surrey, and Sussex Deanery and am a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Research:
I am an honorary senior lecturer in Trauma Science at the Blizard Institute, and an Academic Fellow at the Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI) at Queen Mary University of London. I joined the Centre for Trauma Sciences as a Clinical Research Fellow and was awarded a Ph.D. in 2016 for my work on Bayesian Network powered predictive analytics to support clinical decision-making in trauma care. My current research interests are in clinical decision-making in early trauma care and pre-hospital trauma resuscitation.
