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. 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 blogs. I make a point to support young and inexperienced authors and colleagues. Providing mentorship to build capacity in global health is a task I am most passionate about. I am married and we have two children which we home school. We also have one kitten and four very naughty chickens that like to raid the vegetable patch. Favourite quotes...
