My research focus is on Health Services Research, in particular pre hospital aeromedical response, how hospitals are structured to respond to acute patient deterioration and describing peri-operative admissions to Intensive Care, and Intensive Care utilisation.
My research output ranges from local, based studies to larger multidisciplinary collaborations and supporting higher degree students. I have collaborated with large research groups from the Simpson Centre for Health Service Innovation, University of New South Wales and the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Clinical Trials Group.
The output of research projects I have been involved with has been significant. They have been influential, both locally and nationally, informing national guidelines and hospital accreditation processes, such as the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care’s National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, specifically the Recognising and Responding to Clinical Deterioration standards and associated training competencies, and the NSW Clinical Excellence Commission Between the Flags Program. Furthermore the research output has impacted upon local health service development and delivery, as well as at an international level.
