In this conversation, we will be looking at the current guidelines on the pre-hospital management of drowning and the academic research that underpins these principles. We will explore the epidemiology of drowning and examine patient outcomes as a group. We will also discuss the important wider efforts in public awareness and prevention.
To do this, we have Mike Tipton with us. Mike is a household name in the surf lifesaving community and is one of the leading UK academics on drowning. He currently leads the extreme environmental laboratory at the University of Portsmouth. He has spent over 40 years working in thermoregulation, environmental and occupational physiology. This includes as a survival and thermal medicine consultant to the RAF and UK Sport. He has been heavily involved in the RNLI for many years, as a consultant advisor to the medical directorate. In 2018 he was awarded an MBE for services to physiological research in extreme environments.
