About Tim

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).

Tim has responsibility for the Emergency Medicine Academic Clinical Fellows and oversees IMPACT: The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation, and Translation (www.post-collision.com).
