Assoc ProfessorKaren Redmond

I have extensive undergraduate and postgraduate teaching aligned with PMETB and ISCP standards, including clinical bedside teaching, surgical skills training, and structured curricula development across cardiothoracic surgery and transplantation. I am the director and faculty member for national and international surgical training courses, including the London Core Review Course (accredited by the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery) where I deliver lectures, case-based discussions and skills sessions to core surgical trainees. I am a regularly invited speaker and session chair at major national and international scientific meetings, presenting on advanced thoracic surgical techniques, minimally invasive surgery, and clinical innovation. I mentor and supervisor to surgical trainees, postgraduate fellows, and allied health professionals, fostering academic development and clinical excellence.

Currently, I am the External Examiner for Trinity College Dublin Final Medical Examinations (2025–2027), independently assessing clinical and applied science competence in core medical subjects. I am also an Intercollegiate Board Examiner, Cardiothoracic Surgery — appointed to host and assess specialty examinations in Dublin, contributing to national standards in surgical qualification and certification.
