Dr Geoff King, RIP

On the 29th of August 2014, sadly a family lost a loving husband and father and the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council lost a visionary Director. 

Dr Geoff King (MBBS FRACGP FACTM DRACOG Dip Av Med FACRRM), the first Director of the Pre Hospital Emergency Care Council passed away peacefully at home. His death is a tragedy for his wife and young children. PHECC staff have lost a truly inspirational leader and colleague. Council have lost an extraordinary Director who exploited his unique skill set to transform pre-hospital emergency care in Ireland. The wider pre-hospital emergency care community have lost a catalyst for change and a champion of patient care. His immense legacy is without equal.

Geoff’s compass as Director was “If you always put the patient first when making a decision, you will never make the wrong decision”.
