I currently work as the Chief Medical Scientist (CMS) in Haematology at Temple Street Children's Hospital. I also manage the medical scientists and Haemovigilance staff in the Blood Transfusion (BT) department, as the CMS in BT works cross-site between CHI Crumlin and Template. In addition to my CMS role, I am on the multidisciplinary on-call roster for Haematology, BT, and Microbiology.

Senior Medical Scientist (SMS) in Haematology at Temple Street Children's Hospital. As Haematology and BT share staff I also worked in BT covering early/ late rota and Saturday mornings in both disciplines.

SMS in point-of-care testing (POCT). I was responsible for maintaining, validating, and training for all POCT devices in the hospital. This involved liaising with clinical staff and laboratory staff on a daily basis.
