Professor Quinn is a leading figure in cardiovascular nursing, an adviser to the Department of Health in emergency cardiac care and is cardiovascular, stroke and research lead for the West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (WMAS) as well as clinical lead for cardiovascular disease, stroke and vascular diseases in the NHS National Library for Health.
