Delighted to be CEO of this project alongside a fantastic PM team including Bernie Boyle as Delivery Lead and very much supported by fantastic colleagues at NICRF @NICRFqub, BHSCT and BRCD . Making NI a region of choice for clinical trials @QUBCityDeal

We have started construction on iREACH Health, a new world-class #ClinicalResearch centre on the Lisburn Road.
It is set to open in 2027 and will create up to 1,000 jobs and generate an additional £733 million GDP for #NorthernIreland.
The new centre, which is one of three innovation centres delivered through @QUBCityDeal, will bring all the essential parts of the #ClinicalTrial ecosystem together in one space, enhancing #PatientCare and reinforcing Northern Ireland's position as a region of choice for clinical trials.
Key representatives from government, #Healthcare and industry joined us for a site visit today, including @Economy_NI Minister Dr @CArchibald_SF and @healthdpt Minister @mikenesbittni.
“iREACH Health signifies a new era for clinical trials in Northern Ireland, bringing together world-class expertise and cutting-edge facilities to accelerate the development and deployment of new #MedicalTreatments.”
“Through iREACH Health, Queen’s is delighted to further the partnership with the @BelfastTrust, reinforcing our shared commitment to tackling healthcare challenges and improving #PopulationHealth through world-leading #Research. Queen’s has a long history of leading on #HealthcareInnovation throughout our 180-year history and iREACH Health will help drive this legacy forward.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor)

Interested in coming to Canada and doing a critical care ultrasound fellowship @westernsono ? We would love to have you.
Shoot me a DM and we can chat more!
Highlights:
- 6 months - 1 year (preferred 1 yr)
- any training background invited to apply
- supervised by @arntfield @john_basmaji and myself
- tons of resus / critical care TEE exposure
- research opportunities (including the ability to focus this as a research fellowship) --> we are running observational RCTs in ultrasound
I completed this fellowship a while ago and can attest first hand how great it is (over 25 graduated fellows over the past decade). We would love to have you.
Pinging some previous fellows too in case they want to highlight their experience: @KiranRikhraj @katiewiskar @HansClausdorff @DCBrotherston @LintnerRivera @msattin4

So important to see the #sepsis #JLA research priorities highlighted in this setting
underscores the importance of work funded by @stopsepsisnow to drive forwards research into this condition...more info⬇️
