My Current Post
In November 2010, I arrived in Warrnambool to take up my current post, which
has three main roles:
• I am one of four resident orthopaedic surgeons, providing orthopaedic
care to the South West region of Victoria.
• I am Director of Orthopaedic Services for South West Healthcare.
• I am Associate Professor in the Deakin University Medical School,
involved in organizing and delivering teaching to medical students at the
Warrnambool Clinical School and in the wider medical school.
I also am involved in teaching and training nurses, GPs and other groups. I teach on Emergency Management of Serious Trauma (EMST) courses across Australia, and am a Fellow of the Academy of Surgical Educators of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen.
I was recently (2003-2010) a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Orthopedics at the University of Aberdeen and Aberdeen Teaching Hospitals, and Director of the North of Scotland Orthopaedic Training Programme.
Research into Post-Traumatic Stress & Recovery.
I graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 1990 and completed my surgical and orthopaedic training in Scotland, including two years researching the relationship between post-traumatic stress and recovery after injury being awarded the research degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) with honours.
From there I undertook three Specialist Fellowships (Trauma, Arthroplasty, Knee Reconstruction) in Melbourne, Australia.
American-British-Canadian (ABC) Travelling Fellowship
In 2008, I was awarded the American-British-Canadian (ABC) Travelling Fellowship, and spent 6 weeks travelling with six other young surgeons (from Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) to visit leading orthopaedic centres in Canada and the USA, in order to exchange ideas.
This Fellowship recognises clinical and research excellence and leadership in orthopaedics, and is the most prestigious such award in world orthopaedics.

The Andry Tree: The term "orthopaedia" was
first coined by French physician Nicolas Andry
in 1741, and derives from the Greek words
orthos (meaning straight) and paidia (meaning
child rearing). The term originally referred to the
treatment of deformity in children. Andry used
the deformed tree image to demonstrate how
supporting a deformed growing limb could result
in it growing straight, and the image has been
used worldwide to represent the principles of
orthopaedics. By changing the tree to represent
a eucalypt, we are stressing that we are applying
our orthopaedic knowledge to provide locally
relevant musculoskeletal care for South West
Victoria.
