Career

Delaney advises the United Nations Road Safety Fund: Platform on Health and Road Safety to identify high-impact global road safety projects and to advise funding allocation supporting Sustainable Development Goal 3.6 to halve the number of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030.[3]

Delaney was a signatory of the First Responder Coalition of Sierra Leone in Makeni, Sierra Leone in 2019.[4][5]

Research career

His research focuses on emergency medical services development in resource-limited settings, especially in regard to cost-effectiveness, impact measurement, and mobile dispatch integration, which has appeared in Injury, World Journal of Surgery, Journal of Surgical Research, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine and Emergency Medicine Journal, among others.[6][7][8][9][10] He is an invited peer reviewer to academic journals for injury-related research.[11]

LFR Model

Delaney first described the Lay First Responder Model in the World Journal of Surgery in 2018, as an approach to out-of-hospital emergency care development that leverages pre-existing transportation infrastructure by training transportation providers as first responders to rapidly deploy and scale emergency medical services in austere prehospital settings of resource-limited low- and middle-income countries.[12][6] Since initial implementation in Uganda, the LFR model has been deployed in Chad, Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Nigeria.[7][13][14][15][16][17][18]

PETCAT

He developed PETCAT (Prehospital Emergency Trauma Care Assessment Tool), a survey tool now used to independently assess the provision of out-of-hospital emergency care in resource-limited low- and middle-income settings.[19]

Honours

His work in post-crash response with LFR International on the "LFR Post-Crash Response Program Model for Road Traffic Injuries in Resource-Limited African Settings" received the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award for outstanding achievement and innovation to improve global road safety in December 2020.[1][2]

He received the 2020 Excellence in Research Award from the American College of Surgeons and was subsequently profiled in a supplemental issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.[20] In 2022, he was interviewed by the Vice-Chair of the American College of Surgeons Board of Regents, Steven Wexner, on the ACS podcast Surgeons Voices regarding his work in prehospital trauma care.[21]
