Biography
Robyn was the first Queensland dual qualified paediatrician / emergency specialist and has influenced a whole generation of paediatric and emergency trainees to become more observant, metacognitive, and family oriented in their Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) interactions.
She introduced scenario-based training, and helped bring Advanced Paediatric Life Support to New Zealand, Vietnam and Russia.
Currently based at Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, Robyn co-chairs the PEM Point-of-care Ultrasound (POCUS) ANZ group and is passionate about ultrasound as the ‘third eye’ for physicians of the 21st century.
This passion has taken her to Cuba, Torres Straits and Timor Leste as a volunteer, teacher, and ultrasound wielding physician.
