Specialist training in Emergency Medicine, with rotations in the Emergency Department, operating theatre and resuscitation.
Emergency Department experience
Worked as a hospital physician at Villa Sofia-Cervello Hospitals in Palermo.
Approach to care
Rapid assessment without losing sight of the whole clinical picture.
Emergency medicine requires symptoms, vital signs, medical history and risk factors to be considered together, distinguishing conditions that can be managed outside hospital from those requiring immediate emergency care.
Clinical signs and the progression of symptoms are assessed to identify higher-risk situations promptly.
The assessment considers the overall clinical picture and potential interactions between different health problems.
Advice and next steps are explained clearly, even in more complex situations.
