Medical students on PCCS and traumatic brain injury research

Tobias Lawson and Tahreem Sajjad, medical students at Barts and The London, provide insights into their experience of attending PCCS and presenting research on traumatic brain injury in children. They reflect on learning from the paediatric critical care community and the encouragement that meeting specialists can offer students considering the field. The interview introduces their retrospective observational project at the Royal London Hospital, examining the use of intracranial pressure monitoring in children with traumatic brain injury. They describe the motivation for the study and its data collection, raising questions about the evidence informing monitoring practice in paediatric patients.

This interview took place at the PCCS Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 in London.
