I was delighted to be working back in Australia April and March 2024 and again in October and November 2024, after a break made longer by Covid.
I have also been offering an out of hours Telehealth services to Australians when I am back in the UK (the advantage is I will be in-hours in the UK). This service was initiated by the Cannonvale Team as PocketDoctors. That service is accessed here
I had to stop this interesting Telehealth work on 2nd April 2025. I am off to work in the Falkland Islands until August 2025 I was not able to return to Australia within 120 days of my last stay, a condition of Telehealth consults when out of the country.
My background
After working for decades in UK I was based in Cairns at the Doctors Mulgrave Road between 2009-2017. I also did did short spells at Airlie Beach and Townsville for The Doctors Group. While I was based in Australia I started a remote medicine career working Borroloola NT, Antarctica (Casey Station) twice with the Australian Antarctic Division, Falklands, Tristan Da Cunha, St Helena, Guinea Conakry, Deep Sea oil rig ship Gulf of Mexico to Gabon, Indonesia and Thailand. In 2024 I worked again back on the Falklands and I am back there in May 2025. In the UK I worked on Yell Shetland and in London Prisons.
I am old enough to have seen most conditions.
Professional development and keeping up-to-date includes the U.K appraisal revalidation system for the UK General Medical Council and the Australian RACGP programme for AHPRA accreditation. I prefer Australian clinical courses as they seem tougher, expecting doctors to manage conditions on their own, as many Australian doctors are indeed working in remote locations.
The letters after my name include DCH: Diploma of Child Health and Fellowship of UK RCGP, and Fellowship of Royal Australian College of GPs and CCFP, Canadian College of Family Medicine
