Akshay Kumar

I am a PhD student at ScHARR, supervised by Professor Chris Burton (Professor of Primary Care and Centre for Urgent and Emergency Care (CURE) Research, ScHARR, University of Sheffield) and Dr Kerryn Husk (The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula (PenARC), University of Plymouth). My research objective is to use an established dataset with linked routine paediatric patient data from NHS organisations across Yorkshire & Humber to study how care is provided for urgent and emergency paediatric episodes and identify, where potential causes of concern are in the system and therefore where interventional approaches should be targeted.
