Dr Tim Nutbeam
Honorary Professor - Prehospital Critical Care
School of Health Professions (Faculty of Health)
Biography
Biography
Tim is a consultant in Emergency Medicine and Prehospital Emergency Medicine working in the South West of the UK. Tim has a particular interest in the immediate phases of care following a motor vehicle collision and how outcomes for patients can be optimised.
Tim has recently completed a body of work know as the EXIT (EXtrication In Trauma) project which considers how to optimise care and extrication for patients who are trapped following a motor vehicle collision. This work has been adopted into national guidelines, has influenced care internationally and has been awarded first place in the prestigious International Road Safety Awards (2022).
Qualifications
I am a Fellow of the College of Emergency Medicine, I hold a Masters in Disaster Medicine and have completed a the Diploma in Immediate Care from the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh).
I trained in Emergency Medicine in the UK and have worked both here and in Southern Africa.
My specially interests include Prehospital Emergency Medicine, resource/ information limited decision making and early interventions especially in those injured following a motor vehicle collision.
