About

I am a Management Consultant, Coach and Educator, Board Member and Deputy Charir with 25 years Exeuctive experience and almost 10 years board level experience across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors with particular experience in the health and education industries.

At an Executive level what I do is drive governance and improvements to the outcomes of existing programs. I review waste and find opportunities to align with strategic plans by constructing well thought out projects. I do this by leveraging decades of medical, executive and training experience, collaborating with my Executive team members and identifying, fostering and harnessing talent within my own teams.

At board level, I drive governance and improvements to training and educational outcomes. I do that by leveraging decades of medical and training experience.

In an executive capacity, I am currently Managing Director of AdvanceMed & Great Mynds and Advisor / Investor at Med Apps. I am also a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of Newcastle. Previously I was Executive Medical Director at the Health Education & Training Institute of NSW.

Earlier I was Executive Medical Director Primary and Community and Director of Medical Workforce at Hunter New England Local Health District.

Board level highlights include Board Member at International Clinician Educators Board (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada); Deputy Chair of onthewards.org inc; Board Member and Deputy Chair of Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils.

Finally, I have a Bachelor of Medicine, a Bachelor of Surgery and a Bachelor of Medical Science. I am also a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists and have a Certificate in Coaching.

  • Accentuate the positives, but don’t necessarily eliminate the negatives: A cross-sectional survey of junior doctor psychiatry terms

    mededpublish.org

    Abstract
    Objective: To determine the experience of prevocational junior doctors during psychiatry terms in New South Wales, Australia, and the impact on career intention and perception of psychiatry.

    Method: A cross-sectional mixed-methods survey was sent to 197 prevocational junior doctors (PGY1-PGY2+) undertaking a psychiatry or drug and alcohol term across New South Wales in 2015 – 2016, and referred here as psychiatry terms.

    Results: Seventy-seven junior doctors (39%…

    Abstract
    Objective: To determine the experience of prevocational junior doctors during psychiatry terms in New South Wales, Australia, and the impact on career intention and perception of psychiatry.

    Method: A cross-sectional mixed-methods survey was sent to 197 prevocational junior doctors (PGY1-PGY2+) undertaking a psychiatry or drug and alcohol term across New South Wales in 2015 – 2016, and referred here as psychiatry terms.

    Results: Seventy-seven junior doctors (39% response rate) participated. The psychiatry term was rated as a positive experience by 82% (n=63), with several key influences identified. The proportion of respondents interested in a psychiatry career increased by 19%, pre-term to post-term (p=0.004). Qualitative data point to improved perceptions of psychiatry post-term due to improved mental health literacy, applicability of skills across vocations, and psychiatrist role models. Challenging clinical situations were considered positive influences if managed effectively by senior staff. Poorer perceptions of psychiatry post-term were rare.

    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that both career intention and overall perceptions of psychiatry are influenced by factors specific to the junior doctor role (as opposed to medical student). In addition, exposure to effective management and good supervision of challenging situations has a positive influence on some junior doctors.

The objective of this study was to review the components of psychiatry terms and placements that determine a positive experience and potentially influence interest in vocational training in psychiatry.

    Abstract

    Objective: In Australia and internationally, psychiatry has struggled to fill training places to keep up with demand for service. The objective of this study was to review the components of psychiatry terms and placements that determine a positive experience and potentially influence interest in vocational training in psychiatry.
    Method: A literature review and narrative synthesis was undertaken on 20 papers identified as meeting inclusion criteria.
    Results: The top themes contributing to positive experiences during the psychiatry term were: receiving high quality supervision; supported autonomy; and witnessing patient recovery. There was a paucity of Australian literature preventing investigation of the Australian context alone.
    Conclusions: There is a need to better understand how the junior doctor and medical student psychiatry experience influences perceptions of psychiatry and intention to specialise, especially in the Australian context.

    This project focused on revitalising an existing but dormant course with the aim of improving a key workforce capability gap, namely the management fundamental capabilities of senior medical staff in early leadership positions.

    By applying careful attention to the clarification of scope with key stakeholders and addressing key pain-points in the system we were able to develop a course with credible content and experts and targeted learning methodology that was able to market itself. The course pilot and first course run have been delivered on time and budget and have already demonstrated significant improvements in participants confidence in relation to key managerial roles, in particular people management, financial management and difficult conversations.
