Stevan Bruijns

Dr Bruijns has been a qualified emergency physician since 2008 and was one of the first students to hold a degree in Emergency Medicine in South Africa. He is dual registered as a specialist in South Africa and the United Kingdom. His interests include service improvement in low resourced settings, emergency medicine development in low-to-middle income settings, education and trauma physiology. Dr Bruijns' current role allows him to address many of these interests directly through research and education. He is a person of action and like for thingshe does to be useful to others. Besides his desk job, Dr Bruijns does some clinical work at Khayelitsha Hospital. Khayelitsha is a deprived, largely informal community, within Cape Town's city borders (although a million miles away in terms of resources). Dr Bruijns' favourite quotes are: there is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit- Ronald Reagan and if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original- Ken Robinson.
