Welcome to our CPOC Fellow 2025/26

We are delighted that our new CPOC Fellow for 2025-2026, Dr Alex Isted, will begin in post on the 05 August 2025.

Alex is an anaesthetic registrar training in the North West of England. He is interested in the intersection between perioperative care, public health and health policy. He has participated in clinical research throughout his training, most recently contributing to the PROTECTOR study, which investigated the impact of tobacco smoking on perioperative outcomes.

“I see the CPOC Fellowship as a brilliant opportunity to deliver improvements in perioperative care at a national level. I’m really looking forward to learning from and collaborating with perioperative leaders within CPOC and its partner organisations.”
