Welcome to my Blog!

This is a trial to see if this space is useful as a connection point to people keen about both things that I have a passion for: medicine and education.

My background is in  general practice , having had over 20 years of experience in caring for patients in this setting . I am one of the senior doctors and principal owner of a medical practice called The Village Medical Practice which serves the local community and others who want to make this practice their "Medical Home"  http://medicalhome.org.au/.

Together with our team of doctors and nurses, we provide comprehensive general practice services which are based on an eclectic approach to healing,  focused on what works for patients and their carers. Our doctors and staff are keen to work with you to provide patient-centred care .  Look at our website for more details about our services.    www.villagemedicalpractice.com.au 

Since 2008, I have been working at the University of Notre Dame , School of Medicine Sydney as Senior Lecturer and Group Tutor to the First year MBBS students . In 2011, I took on the part time role of Year Coordinator. As an educator and manager, I enjoy being a mentor to our future doctors , contributing to their journey towards a career and vocation in medicine. My role as manager here allows me to organise the medical tutors to create a collegiate stimulating environment for them to flourish as teachers and mentors to their students.
