S4E3: "Pivot. And Pivot Fast." Experience of a Trauma Fellowship - South Africa Special II01 Nov 202300:43:33

Improvisation is the buzz word in this thrilling second bonus episode centred on South Africa (you can find the first here).

With over 2,000 inpatient beds and a dedicated trauma unit, Barra hospital ranks as the 5th largest hospital in the world.  Coupled with its location in an area with unfortunately high rates of violent crime, and variable reliability and access to resources, working in the trauma unit poses unique challenges not often faced here in Irish EDs.

S1E14: Dr Lisa Cunningham | FemInEM (Bonus Interview Series)11 Mar 202100:21:18

This month, we have something extra special for our listeners of TheCase.Report.

In celebration of International Women’s Month, we’ve got a series of interviews with some of our fantastic female EM colleagues from around the country. Throughout March, we will be dropping these short episodes in order to give you even more TCR to get your teeth into.

The female presence in Emergency Medicine in Ireland has been slowly increasing over the past number of years with incredible doctors paving the way. We get the chance to sit down with some of our colleagues to chat all things Emergency Medicine including why it’s such an invaluable specialty (little bit of shameless specialty promo for those yet undecided!)

Watch this space for a collection of gripping interviews dropping throughout March.

Dr. Lisa Cunningham

Dr. Lisa Cunningham is a proud Mayo-born Emergency Medicine specialist registrar who is currently undertaking her pre-hospital fellowship over with Essex & Hertfordshire Air Ambulance. She sat down with Orla to discuss all things pre-hospital EM, her current career path and her plans for the future.
