Designer of Emergency Extrication Vehicle https://emj.bmj.com/content/emermed/23/4/

I have been involved with the development and facilitation of Immediate care in sports programmes working with various organisations, including:

  • World Rugby (Senior Medical Trainer)
  • The Football Association (Advanced Resuscitation & Emergency Care (AREA Course lead)
  • Irish Rugby Football Union (SAFE-Rugby course designer)
  • Team SKY

I developed and Course Direct the Standard Principles of Resuscitation & Trauma in sport (SPoRTS) programme that allows those clinical healthcare professionals to gain competence in key on-field of play/pitch-side skills

I have also been involved in the Commonwealth Games (2014) and Rugby World Cup (2015) medical teams
