Emergency physician by background with two decades experience working in a variety of emergency, trauma and critical care settings in both Scotland and Australia. My other main professional interests are in sports, exercise and lifestyle medicine and the health, wellbeing and sustainability of practice of my colleagues.
 I have held wellbeing portfolios at department, hospital and college level. In 2022 I had further opportunity develop my leadership skills, to effect meaningful, evidence- based change in this area, at the Stanford WellMD Chief Wellness Officer Course in California.
 In 2023/24 I am undertaking a global senior executive MBA programme at Melbourne Business School to further deepen and broaden my strategic leadership, managerial judgement and organisational behaviour lens. 
 With a passion for the science, art and practical application of how we might optimise our performance and wellbeing as clinicians and maintain longevity of practice, The Mind Full Medic Podcast project was born in 2020.
 Outside of work I am an avid trail runner and find joy exploring local coastal and mountain trails with my trail tribe. Like my yoga asana practice, running in natural settings is my moving meditation.
