I have been a qualified emergency physician since 2008 and was one of the first doctors to hold a degree in Emergency Medicine in South Africa. I am dual registered as a specialist in South Africa and the United Kingdom. My interests include quality improvement, as well as social equality and research access in African low-resourced settings. This has formed the basis of many service improvement projects I have led, notable designing the South African Triage Scale, work on research equity and work during the pandemic. More recently I've been involved in data translation, specifically in urgent an emergency care. I am a person of action and like for things I do to be useful to others. This is strongly reflected in my outputs. I have a strong sense of purpose that greatly influences my desire to improve the world around me. I have worked in both resource-rich and resource-poor settings. I have used this experience to shape my worldview which is best described in several of my blog posts. I am married and we have two children which we home school. We also have one cat and two very naughty chickens that like to raid the vegetable patch.
