Profile photo 
Upload your profile photo in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels. 

Name 
To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab)  If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in Subscribe (opens in a new tab).

Job title 
Raise a request through ServiceNow (opens in a new tab) to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through Ask HR (opens in new tab). If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

Research interests (for researchers only) 
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.

About

Dr Andrew Cumpstey is Senior Clinical Lecturer and Consultant in Anaesthesia, Perioperative and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

Andrew works on 'bench to bedside' research investigating how the body handles oxygen (oxygen physiology) and how oxygen is used in clinical practice (oxygen therapy), particularly before, during and after major surgery (perioperative medicine) and during critical illness.

Andrew trained in general medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care medicine in Cambridge, Oxford, Taunton and Southampton. He completed his PhD at the University of Southampton, exploring the effect oxygen therapy has on oxidative stress in major surgery and critical illness, in 2022 and was awarded the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia's National Research Award for this work.

Andew's research interests include improving clinical outcomes from major surgery and intensive care, translational clinical studies in oxygen physiology and therapy, and physiological changes associated with extreme environments, particularly high altitude and space.

Andrew works collaboratively with the European Space Agency on studies using overwintering in Antarctica as a model to explore the physiological challenges of longterm isolation in remote environments such as experienced during space travel. As a member of the Xtreme Everest medical research team, he has worked on research projects in high altitude regions around the world including the European Alps and the Everest region in the Himalaya, trying to learn lessons that could help patients needing intensive care in hospital. He has climbed above 6000m and made a number of mountaineering first ascents in remote regions of Arctic Greenland and Morocco.
