- Profile
-
I graduated from 葫芦影业 Medical School in 2010. During my medical degree I undertook an intercalated research BMedSci in ScHARR looking at the effectiveness and acceptability of the paramedic practitioner role within Yorkshire Ambulance Service. After 2 years of foundation medical training I specialised in anaesthesia and critical care achieving my primary FRCA qualification. After leaving clinical practice I moved into healthcare education and worked as a resuscitation officer/trainer in the private sector where I taught a range of courses including advanced life support. I undertook my masters in public health at ScHARR in 2020/21 focussing on animal therapy as a treatment for depression for my dissertation.

My PhD is entitled 鈥渢he role of ambulance services in reducing avoidable transitions to hospital for older people living with frailty and care home residents鈥. I will be reviewing international literature on the approaches that services have used to reduce transitions to hospital for this group of patients, using routine data across Yorkshire & Humber to study variation in transition rates and using case studies to evaluate ambulance service organisation and delivery in areas identified as highly performing.
Supervisors: Professor Suzanne Mason and Dr Elizabeth Teale.
