Colonel Nigel Tai is an honorary clinical senior lecturer on the programme, a consultant trauma and vascular surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust, and UK Defence Medical Service. He specialises in trauma and vascular surgery, balancing his career between clinical practice in both a civilian and military context. His experience in either setting is directly applicable to the other and he strives to promote cross-fertilisation of learning and preparatory training both within the NHS and Army environments. His research interests include the use of probability-based modelling to aid in ‘real-time’ clinical decision–making (e.g. predictive factors for limb amputation after poly trauma) and for use in supporting trauma governance via Bayesian Network mortality prediction.
