Dr. Gayle Andrea Christie
UK trained FACEM with dual accreditation in Emergency and Pre-hospital Medicine. Previous background in Psychology prior to studying medicine. I have post graduate qualifications in Toxicology, Clinical Education, Pre-hospital and Retrieval Medicine, Medical administration and Trauma Sciences. My passion has always been pre-hospital care and I have over 18-years experience working with HEMS services in the UK, as well as motorsport medicine and road-based rapid response vehicles before moving to Australia in 2011 and spending 7 years with RFDS part-time whilst maintaining a substantive role as an ED Consultant at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth. I took up the post as Deputy Medical Director with SJAWA in 2020 working with and developing the Critical Care Paramedic group. This includes the development of a bespoke 2-year internship training program nd ongoing competency framework specific to the demands of the CCP group. In 2022 I took up the role as Medical Director and will continue to strive for excellence in training, education and clinical practice across the board. I play as hard as I work – competing in ultramarathons in my ‘spare time’ and doting on my rescue dog.
