About
He has been the Director of Research at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals (BTH) since 2017. In 2019 he led the successful bid for BTH to become one of only 5 NIHR Patient Recruitment Centres (PRCs) nationally, with the Trust receiving £2M in NIHR funding over 5 years to support and grow commercial clinical trial delivery. In 2024 he led the successful bid for NIHR PRC Blackpool to transition to an NIHR clinical commercial research delivery centre (CRDC), receiving £3.5M in NIHR Infrastructure funding over the next seven years to expand the Trust’s work as a clinical commercial research site.
Gavin was awarded an Honorary Professorship in Cardiology at Lancaster University in 2025.
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
