She leads the Queensland Trauma Education program, developing and delivering face-to-face trauma education to clinicians across Queensland, and has a passion for improving the care of the injured by educating others from undergraduates to consultant clinicians. Her recent research outputs have helped shape trauma care guidelines across Queensland, and her role with the ANZCOR and ILCOR First Aid Task Forces has demonstrated the importance of taking haemorrhage control education to the front line. Her current research interest spans the role of tourniquets, and dovetails into clinical education delivery through the expansion of the Stop the Bleed program into Australia. |
