I am an effective communicator and run meetings efficiently. I have held numerous leadership positions and continue to do so taking particular interest in developing the team. I understand the challenges of effective leadership on teams for projects and seeing goals through to delivery. I am an outstanding communicator with patients, students, staff and GPs, to local councils, senior politicians, media and stakeholders. I am equally conscientious and compassionate with the ability to draw firm boundaries.
I have dedicated my working life to Australian General Practice. Listed here are some of the many roles that I have contributed towards. In all cases I have been committed to continuous improvement and developing both an inclusive culture and growing the people around me. I have found that to be the best way to influence transformational growth and achieve a rewarding working environment.
