Following a Master in Applied Physics(Portsmouth) and a brief period in industry,Guillaume started his career in academia atthe University of Hertfordshire’s (UH) Schoolof Electronic, Communication, and ElectricalEngineering in 2000 as a researcher on aproject funded by the British Heart Foundation

to develop patient simulation technology for use in healthcare education.Very rapidly Guillaume started demonstrating fellow academics that man-nequins and computer controlled patient simulators could be used in a dif-ferent manner with learners to observe critical thinking, decision making,and the application of clinical skills in a more autonomous manner than pre-viously dared with students. With this approach Guillaume embarked in mul-tiple simulation-based educational activities across a range of disciplineswith undergraduate students as well as in collaboration with local NHSTrusts for the training of junior doctors in the large clinical simulation that

he designed and directed at UH for interprofessional activities. Guillaumeis regularly invited to run courses and workshops to educators from otherinstitutions, has various journal editorial responsibilities, and leading rolesin the international simulation community. The visibility of his activitiesgranted Guillaume the award of a National Teaching Fellowship in 2006, aSenior Fellowship in 2009 from the Higher Education Academy (UK), and afull tenure professorship in 2011. Whilst still affiliated to UH, where he com-pleted his PhD in healthcare simulation-based education and PgCert teach-ing qualification in Higher Education, he is now based in Qatar working asDirector of Research for Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service(HMCAS). In this role he has actively led and contributed to a large numberof innovative projects on a broad range of domains across other HMC de-partments, including: simulation train the trainer; paramedic training; highacuity patient transport, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, and MajorIncident Response.

Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for MedicalSciences is the most prominent award in the GCC region.Through honoring scientists who significantly contributed to thedevelopment of medical services, the Award drives theadvancement of these services substantially. In fact, Awardeesare highly regarded by their colleagues who then strive to followsuit and put more effort into scientific and medical research. In

the same vein, the Award firmly believes in the importance of scientific research for national growth and development,hence the “Medical Research Grant” program was established to be at the forefront of funding local health researchin UAE.

The Award expanded its roles to cover new paths in order to advance all aspects of medical sciences. In this regard,the Award recognizes excellent academic and clinical entities with outstanding contributions in terms of providingtherapeutic and medical services. Also, international, regional and local Award categories were greatly diversified inorder to cover all those who contribute to alleviating patients’ suffering. Additionally, the Award developed mechanismsthat help advance continuing medical education through organizing and sponsoring several medical conferencesand training programs.

The Award also added a new dimension to its activities through releasing distinct medical publications, the mostimportant of which is Hamdan Medical Journal, a concise scientific and medical periodical covering all fields ofmedical and health sciences in printed and electronic versions.

In 2003, the Award established the Centre for Arab Genomic Studies, which started a totally unique database forgenetic disorders in Arabs (CTGA). The latter grew to become the largest ethnic-based database on genetic disordersin the world. Various activities performed by the Centre help draw up the Genetic Map of Arab populations and makeit available to the scientific community all over the world.
