Obituary for Trevor Sams
Managing Director, Physio-Control UK

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Trevor Sams, Managing Director of Physio-Control UK, whose dedication, leadership, and compassion left an enduring mark on colleagues, partners, and the wider medical technology community.

Trevor devoted his career to advancing lifesaving innovation. Under his leadership, Physio-Control UK strengthened its reputation for excellence in emergency medical response, delivering defibrillation and resuscitation solutions that have saved countless lives. It was in the late 70s that Trevor formed Physio-Control in the UK. In those days, we had the LIFEPAK 5 to introduce to the ambulance service, which was really the first truly light and portable pre-hospital defibrillator. Later in the 1980's Trevor helped develop the market for Pulse Oximetry, External Pacing and of course the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). The UK Sales Team, of which I was a part of from 1987, had to convince the medical world that AEDs were the way forward. I remember Trevor was told in no uncertain terms by higher management that we were not to waste time selling defibrillators into the Pre-Hospital market. Trevor, of course, ignored that instruction and look where that has got us !!

If my memory serves me correctly, in the 1990s, Trevor led the UK company to 23 out of 24 top revenue sales in Europe.

Trevor’s vision was grounded in a simple but powerful belief — that technology, when guided by human compassion, can make the greatest difference in moments that matter most.

Known for his integrity, warmth, and tireless commitment to others, Trevor was not only an exceptional leader but also a mentor and friend to many. His steady guidance and genuine care inspired teams to strive for excellence while never losing sight of the people behind every achievement.

Beyond his professional success, Trevor was deeply devoted to his family and friends. He approached life with kindness, humour, and a generosity of spirit that touched all who knew him. It is probably not widely known that he also ventured into purchasing a couple of shoe shops and regularly reminded the team of his alleged expertise in shoes.

Trevor’s passing leaves a profound void, but his legacy will continue in the lives he influenced and the innovations he helped bring to the world.

He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his family, Physio-Control colleagues, and all our medical friends who had the privilege of knowing him.

💡 Did you know? A heart attack and a cardiac arrest are not the same thing.

Knowing the difference and how to respond in each situation could save a life.

This month, help spread awareness and make sure more people know what to do in an emergency. ❤️

Old Sarum, located near Salisbury in Wiltshire, England, is one of the most remarkable multi-period archaeological sites in Britain. Its history spans over 5,000 years and includes phases of Neolithic, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon, and Norman occupation.

The hillfort itself was originally established during the Iron Age, around 400 BC, as a strategically positioned settlement. Its elevated position offered natural defences and extensive views over the surrounding countryside. The fort was constructed with concentric ditches and ramparts, typical of Iron Age defensive architecture.

Under Roman rule, the site, known as Sorbiodunum, became a key regional centre. Roads converged there, and archaeological evidence suggests a small Roman town or posting station developed within or near the earlier earthworks.

Following the decline of Roman Britain, Old Sarum saw renewed importance during the Saxon period. In the 9th and 10th centuries, it served as a fortified burh, part of King Alfred’s network of defences against Viking incursions.

Its most significant transformation came after the Norman Conquest. In 1070, William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a royal motte-and-bailey castle within the old hillfort, and by 1092, a cathedral was built there. Old Sarum became a vital administrative and ecclesiastical centre , with a growing population within its fortified bounds.

However, the exposed hilltop proved inhospitable and constrained further growth.

By the early 13th century, both the cathedral and the population relocated to the valley below, where the new city of Salisbury was founded in 1220. Old Sarum then fell into decline and was eventually abandoned.
