Alyesha is an NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research Fellow and her PhD aims to develop an intervention to support paramedics to manage head-injured children.

Alyesha has taught basic life support training with AED for 5 years, she always offers a friendly, informal and practical approach, receiving excellent feedback from attendees (see testimonials).

Alyesha regularly provides resuscitation training for the Avon LMC, where she has also received great feedback. As Alyesha works in general practice herself, she understands what staff in this setting need to know, and therefore her training is focused, using real life examples that everyone can relate to, and can also provide information on what equipment is required in general practice for emergency situations.
