ABOUT MATTHEW D.
I’m an experienced and dedicated paramedic with 10 years working across complex and high risk environments, including hazardous area response, major incidents, and specialist operations. I’ve delivered advanced emergency care, led teams in complex and hazardous environments, and coordinated high pressure operations alongside multiple agencies. Throughout my career, I’ve seen how critical it is to combine vigorous strategic risk assessments with practical frontline response, whether through delivering direct patient care, advising remotely as a Clinical Hub Advisor, or supporting operational readiness through ongoing training and leadership. My Master’s in Public Health and Humanitarian Aid reflects my commitment to bridging emergency medical care with health security, disaster risk reduction, and humanitarian response on a global scale.I’m dedicated to: Conducting strategic risk assessments → Collaborating with technical teams to identify and address CBRN-related risks using WHO methodologies. Supporting hazard-specific contingency planning → Developing and updating readiness checklists for effective emergency response. Monitoring public health measures → Analysing and reporting on public health and social measures (PHSM) to tailor support for communities during health emergencies. Delivering capacity building & technical assistance → Preparing background documents, planning training sessions, and providing technical support for consultations and meetings. Strengthening health security and disaster risk reduction → Contributing to global and regional initiatives, technical guidelines, and policy development.I’m actively seeking opportunities to integrate my specialist paramedic background with international health projects, where my experience in risk assessment, contingency planning, and frontline emergency response can help protect communities and build resilient systems.Interested in collaborating on CBRN preparedness, emergency health response, or capacity building? Let’s connect. I’m always open to working with mission driven teams and organisations ready to make a difference. You can contact me directly: m•••••••@hotmail.com
