Law Graduate (LLB Hons) | Senior Paramedic | Medico-Legal & Health Regulation

About

I am a Law Graduate (LLB Hons) and full-time Paramedic transitioning into medico-legal, health regulation and professional conduct work. I have commenced Practical Legal Training (PLT) and expect to seek admission later this year. My clinical background provides practical insight into decision-making, documentation, risk management, clinical governance and incident review. I am developing legal capability to complement this experience, particularly in areas involving practitioner regulation, medico-legal defence, coronial processes and professional conduct matters. Over 2026–27, I intend to build medico-legal expertise through targeted CPD, professional networks and supervised legal exposure aligned with post-admission practice. I welcome connections with practitioners and organisations working at the intersection of health, regulation and law.
