I graduated from the Westminster Medical School in 1978. I have been a director in emergency medicine (or A&E as it once was) since 1990, starting at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, a time coinciding with the well documented problems of paediatric cardiac surgery. We emigrated to New Zealand in 1997, starting as a director of the emergency department in Wellington, before taking on a more senior role as Director of Clinical Support Services, a large and eclectic group, including ICU, radiology, laboratories, and allied health, amongst others. I was also Director of the Quality Unit for the health board. I am now Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, South Australia and Director of Critical Care Services. I have been joint editor in chief of the Emergency Medicine Journal (EMJ) since 2005. Before that I was senior assistant editor of Emergency Medicine Australasia.
