The UK’s Midlands Air Ambulance Charity service has appointed Dr Adam Low, Dr Ryan O’Leary and Dr Malcolm Russell as Governance Leads of the pre-hospital emergency medical service

Governance leads are selected every two years, and their responsibilities include the provision of clinical and management support to the critical care paramedic and medic-led services, ensuring excellent standards in clinical practice, staff development, education and clinical governance.

Each lead will take on projects and additional responsibilities to further develop Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s pre-hospital care provision, including mentoring, facilitating case reviews, providing senior on call support to pre-hospital colleagues and supporting the appointment of new team members. In addition, they will support with the delivery of the clinical training suite and simulation room at the charity’s new airbase and charity headquarters, which will commence build work this spring in Shropshire.

Looking forward to productive two years

Dr Malcolm Russell, Medical Director of the UK’s International Search and Rescue team, said: “I’ve been one of the clinical governance leads for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity for nearly four years now. It’s a fantastic organization and we are privileged to be able to provide life-changing care to our patients. We can always improve though, so I felt compelled to re-apply for the position again and feel greatly honoured that I’ve been awarded one of the new posts.”

Dr Adam Low, Consultant Anaesthetist at University Hospital Birmingham, said: “I am looking forward to joining Mark, Malcolm and Ryan as one of the governance leads for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and MERIT. I look forward to a busy and undoubtedly productive two years.”

Dr Ryan O’Leary, Intensive Care Medicine Consultant and Anaesthetist at Hereford County Hospital, added: “I am delighted to be appointed as a governance lead for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. This is a new role for me, and I look forward to playing my part in allowing our exceptionally talented team to grow and reach their full potential.”
