I am a UK-trained Senior Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Associate Medical Director for Urgent and Emergency Care, committed to clinical excellence, patient safety, and workforce development across large, multi-site services.
Over the last year I led strategic recruitment to stabilise consultant staffing, eliminated agency consultant locums, and delivered marked improvements in operational performance including sustained rises in four-hour ED performance and expansion of Same-Day Emergency Care.
I champion clinical governance, education, and quality improvement through structured teaching, simulation, CESR development pathways, and consultant-led governance frameworks that enhanced mandatory training compliance and strengthened multidisciplinary care pathways.
