Research & Collaboration
My research and applied work focus on strengthening health systems, emergency care, ambulance services, and public-sector delivery — using evidence, data, and leadership practice to improve access, quality, resilience, and operational performance.
As Chief Executive Officer of St John Ambulance Solomon Islands, the national ambulance service, my work is closely connected to real-world health system delivery. It informs service design, emergency care access, workforce models, digital systems, operational governance, and performance improvement.
My academic and applied interests sit at the intersection of health leadership, public administration, emergency medical services, governance, and digital transformation. I am particularly interested in how organisations translate strategy into reliable frontline services, especially in complex environments where resources, demand, public expectations, and institutional arrangements must be carefully balanced.
Areas of Focus
Health Systems and Emergency Care
Examining how emergency, urgent, and prehospital care systems can be designed, governed, and integrated to improve access, continuity, and resilience.
Ambulance System Design and Performance
Exploring how ambulance services can strengthen response, deployment, demand management, workforce models, clinical quality, and operational reliability.
Digital Enablement and Operational Intelligence
Using dispatch data, ePCRs, dashboards, telecommunications, and digital infrastructure to support assurance, decision-making, service improvement, and clinical governance.
Leadership, Governance, and Public Value
Considering how executive leadership, institutional design, accountability, and governance arrangements influence organisational culture, performance, equity, and public trust.
I work with universities, health services, government agencies, NGOs, donors, and public-sector partners on applied research, service improvement, policy development, digital transformation, and shared learning initiatives with practical operational relevance.
