Personal profile

Biography

Jessamine Soderstrom is an Emergency Physician, Clinical Toxicologist at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH).  A self-professed nerd with a desire for a sedate life in an adrenaline fuelled environment of an Emergency Department (ED).  Recreational drug abuse (not including alcohol) represents around 8% of all ED presentations at RPH.  The power of data, objective evidence of what recreational drugs are causing harm in the community is what drives her area of research.

She has been involved in the development of EDNA (Emerging Drugs Network of Australia) which is a national registry of what recreational drugs are causing presentations to EDs around Austrlia.  It is a lovely demonstration of how researah complements clinical practice and informs it.
