Dr Ceri Battle is a Consultant Respiratory Physiotherapist and an Honorary Associate Professor in Swansea. 

Ceri's PHD work led to the creation of the STUMBL score, a tool to help determine the risk of complications for patients with rib fractures.   

Following her pre-recorded talk to our Bootcamp, she discusses the STUMBL score on the podcast and answers questions that arose from her talk last month.
