I graduated from the University of NSW in 1976. I was one of the first doctors to work for the Aboriginal Medical Service in Redfern. I moved to the Blue Mountains as Clinical Medical Superintendent of the Blue Mountains District Hospital and as a general practitioner. I have been in the Tweed Valley for nine years. I am experienced in complex medicine, addiction medicine, palliative care and mental health as well as in the normal variety of general practice. When not working I am a wildlife carer with Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers. I am committed to the autonomy of patient choice and decision making and to the health of the environment as integral to the health of the person. I am very happy in my professional choice as a generalist medical practitioner.
