Dr. E. Maescu

This is Doctor Elena Maescu. She is a senior general practitioner and works on the ambulance, providing prehospital care in major medical and surgical emergencies, often for patients with multiple injuries.

In 2003, she completed her Bachelor’s degree in medicine from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Victor Babes in Timisoara and became a senior qualified general practitioner. In order to be able to work on the ambulance, she completed the Competence in Prehospital Emergencies course in 2011. She currently has over 15 years of experience dealing with emergencies of all kinds.

After graduating and specialising in emergency medicine, Dr E. Maescu moved to the UK to work as an on-call doctor in a private surgical hospital. She gained her GMC registration (GMC No 7514443) to practise medicine in the UK, where she worked as a fully registered doctor for two-and-a-half years. She also completed the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course and the Paediatric Life Support (PLS) course as well as other required courses and modules on duty of care, infection prevention, child neglect, child protection, urinary tract infection in infants and children, chronic heart failure, diagnosing pulmonary embolism, managing chronic asthma in children and adult, diabetes in pregnant women, assessing pain and using analgesia, communication skills and handling information, etc. She is now back in Romania working as a senior GP in prehospital acute care for the County Ambulance Service.

In the past few years, she has followed additional training, including the Advanced Life Support course, European Paediatric Life Support course, Medical Examiner of Divers, Cosmetic courses, and Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), a vital trauma support course accredited by NAEMT.

For me, online medicine is a new and challenging area for applying my knowledge. By giving online consultations and prescribing medication based on well-developed questionnaires, I feel that I can help patients faster and more efficiently. This ensures quick access to treatment and medical support if needed.

All doctors agree that the online way of working is the most advantageous. I have gained over 15 years of practical experience in the field of emergency medicine, and I can share this experience with online patients with all kinds of medical problems as well as with younger colleagues.
