Biography: Dr Jessica Forbes
Dr Jessica Forbes is an Emergency Physician and Trauma Consultant at the Gold Coast University Hospital, and a Medical Officer with the Queensland Ambulance Service High Acuity Response Unit. Her real prehospital talent is singing tunes from 'Hamilton' in the car, and priming the blood warmer - a skill she has carried over from her previous career as an ED nurse.
