He trained in intensive care medicine at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, and The Royal Adelaide Hospital. He has also worked in paediatric and neonatal retrieval medicine at MedSTAR, the South Australian Ambulance Service Emergency Medical Retrieval service. He completed a fellowship in neurocritical care medicine at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in 2019/2020.
Dr Raith has a specialist interest in the critical care management of intracerebral haemorrhage and traumatic brain injury.
Research interests
Dr Raith is a clinical senior lecturer in critical care medicine based at the University of Adelaide Medical School. He is an honorary clinical senior researcher in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences at The University of Oxford, and an honorary clinical lecturer in the Bloomsbury Institute of Intensive Care Medicine, and the Department of Experimental and Translational Medicine, at University College London.
He completed his doctoral studies at the University of Adelaide were under the mentorship of Professor Peter Devitt.
Dr Raith’s research is in the area of experimental & translational critical care medicine. He has a focus on surgical & neurocritical care medicine, and immune function and therapy in critical illness. This international program spans pre-clinical research, neurogenomics, mechanistic clinical research, clinical trials and international population studies in these areas. Recent work has focused on the management of COVID-19 and the role of immunomodulatory therapies and the development of a nascent critical care neurogenomics program in association with the Department of Neurogenetics at the Queen Square Institute of Neurology.
He also leads the global critical care medicine programme within the Oxford University Global Surgery Group. This program is designed to address issues of global inequity in the provision of resuscitation, emergency care for life-threatening conditions and intensive care, across the emergency and critical care medicine delivery system, including prehospital and in-hospital care.
This programme specifically addresses the provision of critical care for non-communicable diseases, including surgical, obstetric, neuroscience and trauma critical care, and sequelae of these illnesses. Current projects are focussed on the critical care of children and young adults with head injuries.
