HISTORY & MISSION

I have wanted to be a doctor since primary school. I have been inspired by many great doctors over the years. I sought and undertook sub-specialist training in maternal medicine and urogynaecology in Ireland and Britain. 17 years ago I returned to my home town of Perth to establish a private practice.

 

Working in a private hospital is an enabler for clinical independence and delivering personalised medical care. I embrace the mission and values of St John of God Healthcare - hospitality, compassion, respect, justice and excellence.

 

I have substantial clinical and research experience in understanding and preventing perinatal loss and recurrent miscarriage.

​

My commitment stretches beyond my own practice is evidenced in my contribution to St John of God Healthcare's national Obstetric & Midwifery Specialty Committee which oversees our safety and quality programs in our maternity units in WA, Victoria and New South Wales.

 

I am more broadly committed to the health of women and babies across the health system. I am Chair of the state Perinatal & Infant Mortality Committee, having served on the committee for the past 12 years. I also contributed to the state COVID-19 Maternity Response and co-chaired the Antenatal/Postnatal Working Group of WA Health's Syphilis Outbreak Response.

 

Most people know and understand what a great joy it is to deliver healthy babies and be an obstetrician. I am equally committed to the practice of gynaecology. Problems like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, pelvic pain and infertility demand sensitivity, compassion and attention.
