Past Research
For several years I worked in the Paediatric Accident and Emergency Research Group (PAERG) based at University of Nottingham. My doctoral studies identified the determinants of parental emergency care attendance with sick children, supervised by Professor Sir Terence Stephenson.
I have been involved in guideline development for children attending emergency departments as a member of the guideline development committee and research steering committee via my membership of PAERG. See my publications as co-author for emergency care guidelines on children with seizure, diarrheoa and breathing difficulties and related papers.
NB Several of my publications are in my maiden name of Eccleston.
