After completing her degrees at the Universities of St. Andrews and Manchester in the UK, she trained in acute medicine in Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Victoria moved to Canada in 2009 to complete fellowships in critical care and neurocritical care, both at the University of Toronto. Victoria also completed her PhD in clinical epidemiology at the University of Toronto examining the relationship between process of care, structure and outcome for critically ill patients with acute brain injury. Her research interests include evaluating pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to secondary brain injury processes, withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies in severe traumatic brain injury, airway management strategies for acutely brain injured patients, and statistical modelling methods.
