Overview
Background
Henry is an emergency staff specialist and director of emergency medicine research at Redland Emergency Department. He has a PhD and MPhil and has conducted research across multiple disciplines including physiotherapy, neuroscience, paediatrics and emergency medicine. He recently completed a clinical trial at Redland ED looking at ultrasound-guided nerve block for upper limb injuries. This work has impacted the way upper limb injuries are managed in our ED and has enhanced patient outcomes. The trial has also fuelled an increasing research culture at Redland ED resulting in numerous funded and unfunded research and quality improvement projects.
