About
Biography
I am proud to serve as the Executive Director of Medical Services and Clinical Governance for the South West Hospital and Health Service. Our vision is to be a trusted and valued leader in the delivery of health services to rural and remote communities.
Other, recent professional roles were as the Gold Coast Health Clinical Director of the Specialist Medical Services CBU, the Primary Care Lead for the COVID-19 pandemic response in Queensland, and a General Practitioner in Logan.
Prior to 2014, I was a rural GP and an Associate Adviser for NHS Education for Scotland. In that role, I helped to establish the national Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP) and contributed to or led the design, development, testing, implementation and evaluation of a wide range of tools and educational resources to improve the quality and safety of primary care.
