"After reading a BSc in Mechanical Engineering I joined the Royal Air Force in 2003. I served for 12 years as a SAR winchman onboard SeaKing helicopters at C Flight 22 Squadron RAF Valley in North Wales. I became a paramedic in 2008 then became an ALS and paediatric ALS instructor in 2009 for the Resuscitation Council (UK). I joined the UKSAR helicopter service delivered on behalf of HM Coastguard in 2015. I have since read a BSc in Paramedic Practice (1st Class) and an MSc in Emergency and Resuscitation Medicine (Distinction). My interest is in prehospital resuscitation medicine. I am currently researching the accuracy of inflight POCUS for diagnosing chest injury, and non-parenteral analgesics for use in the SAR setting"
