Olivia Bell

Doctor (ACCS EM trainee) Honorary researcher

Australia

About

I am a Core Trainee Year 1 in ACCS Emergency Medicine at Princess Alexandra Hospital (UK) and an Honorary Researcher with the Royal Melbourne Hospital (Australia), where my work focuses on health systems resilience and emergency preparedness. I recently graduated from the European Master in Disaster Medicine (EMDM, 2025), where I developed a particular interest in how emergency departments and health systems adapt to climate-related stressors such as heatwaves and extreme weather events. My professional interests lie at the intersection of emergency medicine, disaster management, and health systems research particularly in strengthening frontline healthcare capacity, improving disaster preparedness, and advancing evidence-based approaches to climate and health resilience. I’m passionate about combining clinical experience with research to enhance system-level responses in emergency care and disaster settings, both locally and internationally.
