Professional Profile
I qualified from Auckland Medical School in 1988 and completed my General Surgical Fellowship in the upper North Island before undertaking research under the auspices of the late Professor Graham Hill in the Body Composition and Nutrition Unit at Auckland Hospital.
I then completed post-Fellowship positions in the Colorectal Unit of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (UK), the Department of General Surgery at the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital (UK) and the Colorectal and HPB Units of Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide (Australia).
I started working for Lakes District Health Board, in Rotorua, in January 2002 and currently hold the position of Clinical Head of Department of General Surgery at Lakes District Health Board.
