TopMedTalk is proud to present Perioperative Profiles. This month we speak with Rupert Pearse, OBE, professor of intensive care medicine at Queen Mary University of London and a consultant at Royal London Hospital, known for his research on improving outcomes in high-risk surgical patients.

In this fascinating piece we speak about his career in perioperative and critical care medicine. Raised in rural Bedfordshire as a farmer's son, he switched late from plans to study agriculture to medicine, took a year out working as an auxiliary nurse and carer, and entered St George's, London, where an intercalated BSc introduced him to research.

He reflects on receiving an OBE, and outlines future priorities: growing his East London research group, global health collaborations, leadership, mentorship, and health equity.
