DAS Committee
DAS are very happy to announce the Adrian Pearce Award for disseminating the art and science of airway management. This is to honour one of our key founders, Adrian Pearce, a Consultant Anaesthetist at Guy’s hospital for many decades where he practiced skilled airway management but always with an eye for improving safety in anaesthesia.
He was one of the authors of the seminal 2004 DAS Intubation Guidelines and served as DAS President from 1999 – 2002. He also has the distinction of setting up the first DAS website and the DAS Newsletter. He has now retired from active clinical work and lives comfortably on the South Coast with his wife Nicola. Luckily for us he still attends airway meetings, inspiring and advising!
Adrian was the recipient of the 2009 DAS Medal in recognition for his phenomenal contribution to airway management and the Difficult Airway Society.
So this new award has been inspired and defined by Adrian.
