Fran Williamson ANZTS Trauma 2024 Conference

Fran Williamson

A/Prof Williamson is an emergency physician working across the trauma spectrum, from roadside pre-hospital, through the tertiary emergency department and trauma inpatient care, as the Deputy Director of the Trauma Service. Her passion for trauma medicine is demonstrated through these clinical roles, and more broadly engagement with education, quality improvement and research activities. Fran is the current chair of the Trauma Network within the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, and the education co-lead for the Queensland Trauma Clinical Network and Jamieson Trauma Institutes, roles that are focussed on trauma education delivery, engagement and policy development. She leads the Queensland Trauma Education program, developing and delivering face-to-face trauma education to clinicians across Queensland, and has a passion for improving the care of the injured by educating others from undergraduates to consultant clinicians. Her recent research outputs have helped shape trauma care guidelines across Queensland, and her role with the ANZCOR and ILCOR First Aid Task Forces has demonstrated the importance of taking haemorrhage control education to the front line. Her current research interest spans the role of tourniquets, and dovetails into clinical education delivery through the expansion of the Stop the Bleed program into Australia.
