STAR
Collaborative Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Research in the Severn Deanery
Executive Co-Chair:
Thomas Baumer
Tom is an anaesthesia and intensive care registrar and current executive chair of STAR. He started his registrar training in 2020, having (literally) crossed the bridge from core medial training in Bristol to core anaesthetic training in South Wales, and back again!
​
Tom has a strong interest in research going all the way back to medical school where he undertook an intercalated neuroscience degree. He has been involved in research on T-type calcium channels in childhood absence epilepsy, ethnicity/deprivation amongst COVID-19 critical care patients, and esmolol in traumatic brain injury.
​
Outside of work Tom enjoys playing lots of slightly inconsistent tennis, long distance running and high-altitude hiking holidays
