I am the Primary Care Lead in ED. I am responsible for the day to day running of the department. I lead by example and have a strong work ethic. My role involves staff management at all levels. Organisation & communication skills are an essential part of the role. Clinically I see primary care patients who attend the ED with a primary care problem. This involves face to face consultations which can include investigations to help with diagnosis & treating patients with minor illness of varying ages from birth upwards within the emergency department.
