Dr Nick Talbot

Dr Nick Talbot was appointed as a Consultant at University Hospitals Birmingham in August 2020. He provides anaesthesia and sedation for both elective and emergency neurosurgeries, including cranial, spinal, and interventional neuroradiological procedures. His clinical practice encompasses neurosurgical theatres, the interventional neuroradiology suite, the neuro‑intensive care unit, and general, trauma, and burns intensive care settings. He cares for the full spectrum of critically ill patients, including those with complex neurological conditions, polytrauma, burns, sepsis, ARDS, acute renal failure and poisoning.

Dr Talbot is an experienced Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) practitioner, utilising target‑controlled infusions (TCI) and processed electroencephalography (pEEG) to optimise operating conditions for cranial and spinal neurosurgery. This approach supports high‑quality multimodal intra‑operative monitoring while reducing the risk of postoperative delirium. His clinical interests centre on the management of patients with traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid haemorrhage, with a strong focus on understanding the natural history of these conditions and mitigating associated complications.
