Biography
Prof Derek Gould
Consultant clinical interventional radiologist (IR) 1981-2010 with broad teaching and research experience locally, nationally and internationally. 1999: established industry funded, training/research fellowship in interventional radiology at the Royal Liverpool. Current research interests in skills training in interventional radiology (IR), developing, validating and deploying ‘virtual reality’ training simulator models. 2002: formed multidisciplinary group, ‘Collaborators in Radiological Interventional Virtual Environments’ (CRaIVE: www.craive.org.uk). 2003: Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) X-appeal grant (with Hull) to perform Task Analysis of IR procedures, identify domains of learning. 2006: CRaIVE collaborators funded (with UK and US simulation partner companies) by Department of Health (HTD Programme) and EPSRC, to develop ‘VR’ image guidance simulations for IR. Collaborations at Liverpool have included psychology, computer science, electrical engineering, Clinical engineering, as well as other external collaborations with Harvard and the Italian Institute of Technology. 11 RAs were employed by CRaIVE with work continuing in instrument and procedural force characterisation. 2012: aim to commercialise the technological results of the CRaIVE research work, together with Bangor University and CRaIVE partners, to deliver a market-ready, validated simulator that can train hard-to-acquire skills for IR.
2005: Chair of European Simulation Task Force (of Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe) producing practice standard documents including joint EU-US Simulation Strategy and implementing a human factors basis for simulator models in IR. Member, then Chair (2005-6), of BSIR Education Committee, including developing Research Bursary and IR Syllabus (2006). 2008: NIHR Senior Investigator award (2008-11). 2008-ongoing: EPSRC and HTA Peer Reviewer. 2009-11 RCR Research Committee. November 2011: awarded annual Gold Medal of British Society of Interventional Radiologists for services to interventional radiology at Glasgow.
200 papers in journals and conferences, 70 invited lectures.
