Brian is an emergency physician, prehospital and retrieval specialist. Research lead with Sydney HEMS. Proud Dubliner who came to Sydney and stayed on. Passionate about big sick, trauma and Irish rugby. On too many committees. Amateur blogger and podcaster. Motto: Detestor ego mediocritatem.

Libby has been a paramedic for half of her life… the last 7 years have been as a helicopter paramedic with NSW Ambulance on the rescue helicopter. Libby loves working alongside her amazing paramedic, doctor and aviation colleagues. The teamwork within aeromedical is next level… ‘What we achieve in the spaces, places, conditions and timeframes, relies on this teamwork. It’s humbling and rewarding to be a part of.’ Oh and she loves good food.

Geoff is an Anaesthetist and PreHospital and Retrieval Physician. He believes critical care can be delivered anywhere, anytime, and constantly drives for improvement in himself and those around him. Mostly by using cat videos. He loves to teach, inspire and enthuse. Again, mostly by cat videos. And occasional coarse language.

Chris is a Kiwi oslerphile suffering from knowledge dipsosis. He has a passion for helping clinicians learn and for improving the clinical performance of individuals and collectives. He is an Intensivist and ECMO specialist at the Alfred ICU in Melbourne where he is the Education & Simulation Lead. He has trained in clinical toxicology and as an emergency physician. He is also the Innovation Lead for the Australian Centre for Health Innovation and the current Chair of the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) Education Committee. He is co-creator of LITFL, INTENSIVE, RAGE and SMACC. His one great achievement is being the father of two amazing children.

For his paid work, Jesse is a senior critical care nurse in a mixed adult and paediatric ICU and part of the hospital critical care outreach service. Much to the dismay of his ever-patient (and infinitely more successful) wife, Jesse likes to use his “spare” time doing “volunteer” work in the form of conference organising, co-producing free, open-access healthcare simulation podcast Simulcast, producing nursing practice development blog and podcast Injectable Orange, and all manner of other healthcare, research and education pseudo-academic activities. An exercise science graduate, sport and functional fitness tragic, Jesse classes himself a lifelong student of teaching, learning, health and human performance. Jesse’s proudest roles are head cheerleader for his wife, and their adult daughter, and best friend and co-navigator of life to his young son living with autism and ADHD.
