Dr Simon Bennet’s Summary

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2005 and completed my 2 years of foundation training there, with posts in medicine, psychiatry, accident and emergency and vascular and orthopaedic surgery. I am currently working in emergency medicine in a large teaching hospital in Perth, Western Australia with upcoming posts in neurosurgery and plastic surgery. I aim to pursue a career in trauma and orthopaedics and will apply for run through training in the UK in 2008, with a view to returning to Edinburgh. I am interested in research in the field of T & O and have several publications, which can be seen below
