I have worked in Emergency Medicine for 10 years and counting. I currently work as a Staff Nurse/Emergency Nurse Practitioner in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Clinical research is a field I have had a growing interest in over the last number of years and to be given the opportunity to do it within the ED environment is the dream ticket. This fresh challenge is something that excites me and I hope to provide a link between the ED and the clinical research team.

Having graduated in 2015 from the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh, Ryan then completed his Core Medical Training in the West of Scotland.
