Dr Jillian Boden, MBBS, MRCPCH
As a Wessex ST7 in Paediatric Emergency Medicine (RCPCH), Jilly currently works in Queen Alexandra Hospital (Portsmouth). Her specialist interests include acute stabilisation and transfer of the critically ill patient, having spent a year with the 'Southampton & Oxford Retrieval Team' (SORT) and hopes to find a way of combining this with her future PEM career.
Jilly has a passion for education, particularly 'PEM to the non-paediatrician', including international teaching of the tri-service military GPs, and being on the national committee to write a new standardised paramedic paediatric curriculum. In her free time (you know, apart from the kids and all that) she works as part of the track medical team for the 'British Motorcycle Racing Club', providing pre-hospital care to high velocity polytrauma patients in the 'golden hour' following collisions often exceeding 120mph. |

Outside of work he enjoys swimming, cycling and running and is extremely average at triathlons.

Dr Simon Birch,
I have worked in General / ED Paediatrics in Portsmouth for 20 years. I have a special un-interest in story-telling / heroic practice and interest in application of true expertise from outside medicine (not just commercial aviation cliches). Born before Neil Armstrong (allegedly) walked on the moon, I am lucky to have survived my 450% riskier childhood – albeit only 25% of my mother’s risk – and hope to further defy my 50 times lower chance of making it to the conference compared to a UK 5-9 year old. Despite being a maths-loving, chess player with no social media ‘friends’, I have surprising little social life (who knew?) – hoping to avoid total tragedy, I try to ski and keep my FTP within about 10% of Steve ‘IronMan’ Warriner. I have three semi-independent adult offspring.
Dr Ahmed Osman,
Ahmed is a paediatric intensive care consultant at UHS, having trained in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to caring for critically ill children on the PICU, he is part of the Southampton Oxford Retrieval Team (SORT), providing critical care transfers to patients across the Thames Valley and Wessex area, as well as the Channel Islands, using road ambulances, fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. He is also the lead for the PICU Outreach Service providing critical care training and education to all paediatric hospitals within the region.
Ahmed is active in the teaching schedules of the Paediatric Innovation Education and Research (PIER) Network and has created a number of educational videos that are hosted on the website. He is also a member of the Paediatric Critical Care Society’s wellbeing group, which aims to improve wellbeing across all PICU staff in the country through sharing good practice and conducting collaborative research projects. Ahmed is the Medical Patient Safety Education Lead at UHS, and is interested in human factors and how they pertain to patient safety. As trust simulation lead, he is particularly interested in how simulation can be used to test systems and aid learning after patient safety incidents. |

Dr Joe Schrieber
Having graduated from Liverpool Medical School, I fled to New Zealand to complete 'Foundation Years' 3, 4 and 5 before settling into Emergency Medicine training in Wessex. I've been a Consultant in Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth since 2018 and am delighted to have been invited to talk at the Premier Paediatric EM Conference. My non-clinical roles centre around Trauma and Ultrasound, but I am also a keen educator. If I found myself with spare time, I’d happily play or watch pretty much any sport and would love to travel more than I get chance to. My talk today stems from a Quality Improvement project (primarily focussing on adults) that I completed as a trainee, and on a technique that has a growing evidence base in the paediatric literature.

As the Director of the Department of Clinical Law at University Hospitals of Southampton since 2009, the first such department in the NHS, I have dealt with, in writing, over 1300 enquiries from clinicians of all the regulated professions. Due to this experience, I have some grasp on what clinical legal questions make clinicians uneasy. Around 80 of these enquiries have each led to a short anonymised briefing note: http://www.uhs.nhs.uk/HealthProfessionals/Clinical-law-updates/Clinicallawupdates.aspx. have separate regular clinical legal columns in the house journals of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Paediatrics & Child Health. I have surgical and legal chapters in medical and legal textbooks; most recently, co-editing the Oxford Handbook of Medical Ethics & Law.
