Dr Samy SadekMBBS BSc MCEM FCEM

I have worked in the field of Accident and Emergency Medicine since 2004 and gained CCST in Emergency Medicine in August 2011. Since then I have worked as a Consultant in Emergency Medicine at The Royal London Hospital, a busy tertiary teaching hospital and the UK’s largest major trauma centre. Currently my roles there include teaching the consultant team and leading the ‘Institutional Memory Project’ which aims to help the entire department learn from errors and misdiagnosis, as well as notably good practice, in order to continuously improve our standards and outcomes.

Both of these roles are core to the department's clinical governance system. I have worked in the field of pre-hospital care since 2009 and have worked across the Southeast with four Air Ambulance Trusts: Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust (KSSAAT), Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust (EHAAT), East Anglian Air Ambulance Trust (EAAA) and London’s Air Ambulance (LAA).

Over the years, I have become increasingly involved in training, safety, clinical governance and research. I spent five years working as Clinical Governance Lead Consultant at Essex and Hertfordshire Air Ambulance Trust from 2013, where my role was to ensure we regularly reviewed and maintained the highest standards and safety of our practice.

Since 2011, I have worked with London’s Air Ambulance, one of the busiest air ambulances in Europe with regards to major trauma, serving the 10 million people of London and since 2014 I have worked as a Consultant at London’s Air Ambulance. As well as being part of the team there who lead the clinical governance, regular review of cases and maintenance of high standards, I lead our work streams in extreme haemorrhage, endovascular resuscitation and innovation.
