Dr. Kirsty Challen is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Emergency Medicine Research Lead at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust (North West England). She is also Trust Lead for Major Trauma. She completed undergrad and postgrad training in North West England, acquiring a History of Medicine BSc, a PhD in Health Services Research, an anesthesiologist husband and four children along the way. She is Chair of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Gender Equity Committee, Associate Editor at the Emergency Medicine Journal, Editor of Infographics for Academic Emergency Medicine and faculty for the Skeptics Guide to Emergency Medicine (for whom she creates the #PaperinaPic infographics). Kirsty regards her inner toddler as a great asset to medicine and finds #FOAMEd very helpful in answering “but WHY?”. When not at work she is happiest out running on or skiing down a mountain.
