Dr Beth Newstead has been a consultant in Emergency Medicine at University Hospital, Plymouth for just over 10 years. During this time, she had had a number of roles including Training Programme Director for the Peninsula Deanery. She was the Service Line Director for the Emergency Department (ED) 2020-2023 during which time she had to manage the Covid-19 pandemic, a very challenged ED and some inherent cultural problems within the organisation.
Following ‘retirement’ from her role as SLD she has taken on new challenges and is now a medical examiner for the Trust. Beth has also done a diploma in Lifestyle Medicine and is now offering educational sessions and health coaching to staff members.
