I am a second-generation GP. I trained in Queensland and now live and work in Sydney. I’ve been a GP registrar, supervised medical students and registrars, and have been a GP practice owner with my father on the Gold Coast for nearly a decade. I have also lived in the UK for 4 years, including time working in the NHS.While continuing my clinical work, I have completed a Masters of Public Health (MSc- Public Health- LSHTM) and a PhD in Health Economics studying the value of continuity of care. My ongoing health economics research at Centre for Future Health Systems at the University of New South Wales focuses on health policy and funding, where I’ve been inspired by my clinical experience in identifying areas of research.I’ve been actively involved with the RACGP nationally, chairing the RACGP’s Funding and Health System Reform Reference Expert Committee, and in NSW where I served as Vice-Chair of the NSW/ACT Faculty Council. For the last two and a half years I have been the Chief Medical Officer at Avant Mutual, Australia’s largest medical indemnity provider, leading the advocacy education, research and sustainability functions, and representing more than 80,000 doctors to support a better doctor-led health system focused on quality, safety and professionalism. I’ve also gained extensive governance experience as Board Chair of Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network.I have announced my candidacy for the President of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). I think I have the mix of skills and experience that the RACGP and its membership need right now and am best placed to lead the College through the current challenging times.
