Riku has a decade of Emergency Nursing experience in Finland and Australia, with the last 5 years spent focusing on improving the care we provide to our paediatric population. His passion for Paediatric Critical Care has led him to coordinate several international multicentre RCTs as well as help implement an array of studies; from fluid resuscitating the septic child to improving safety in the paediatric emergency intubation.

Riku hopes to one day be able to use his experience to conduct his own study, but in the mean time he spends most of his free time chasing his two energetic boys around the beaches/skateparks of Tugun.
