Joseph Wragg

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic Senior House Officer with a strong commitment to a career in Emergency Medicine. My clinical experience spans a broad spectrum of acute and chronic care settings, providing me with a solid foundation in managing diverse patient presentations. During my Foundation Year rotations, I consistently demonstrated the ability to perform under pressure, collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams, and deliver patient-centred care. My rotation in the Emergency Department reaffirmed my passion for the specialty and significantly enhanced my clinical decision-making, procedural proficiency, and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. I am now eager to advance my training in a dynamic Emergency Medicine setting where I can continue to grow both professionally and personally.
