Profile

Carl is a National Institute for Health Research Clinical Lecturer in Emergency Medicine and is currently completing Higher Specialty Training in Emergency Medicine in South Yorkshire. He graduated from Robinson College, University of Cambridge Medical School in 2010 and completed Foundation Medical training in the East of England Deanery. In 2012 Carl began specialist training in Emergency Medicine in Yorkshire and the Humber.

Carl completed a NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship in Emergency Medicine between 2013-2016 and then completed an NIHR Doctoral Research Fellowship on the risk assessment and Emergency Department management of patients with head trauma and subsequent brain injury. He was awarded Post Graduate Researcher of the year at Hull York Medical School and the Rod Little Prize in Emergency Medicine for the research related to his PhD.

Carl is a co-chief investigator in the Pre-Hospital PRIEST project evaluating risk stratification and triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection. He is working with collaborators from CENTER-TBI on a range of projects related to traumatic brain injury. Carl is leading a project within the urgent care theme of the NIHR Yorkshire and Humber (YH) Applied Research Centre (ARC) aimed at identifying factors which predict ED attendances in care home residents and explain variation between care homes.
