Background

I am an Emergency Department Registrar currently working part-time in Wellington Regional Hospital Emergency Department. I am also working part-time as an Emergency Medicine Research Fellow within the Department of Surgery and Anaesthesia working towards my PhD. My research is focusing on the use of clinical biomarkers in traumatic brain injuries; particularly regarding their use as a rule out test for significant intracranial pathology. Part of my role with the University includes supervising and supporting junior colleagues with their research projects as well as teaching medical students enrolled on the MBChB programme at Otago.

I completed my medical degree at the University of Birmingham in the UK. My research interests started during an intercalated degree in Sports Science at the University of Loughborough. I was investigating the effect of exercise on post prandial hypertriglyceridemia in adults. I worked for two years as an academic foundation doctor in Coventry where I continued developing my research skills before moving to New Zealand in 2015. I spent a year in Auckland working as a medical registrar before starting my ED training in Wellington. I am also interested in Sports Medicine, particularly concussion prevention and management. I am lucky to be employed by New Zealand Rugby as a match day doctor and often work at the Sky Stadium covering international tests, the Super Rugby, Farah Palmar Cup and Mitre 10 cup.
