Specialist Training

Since graduating from St George’s Hospital Medical School (University of London, UK) I have completed dual fellowships in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.  I trained at the NZ Liver Transplant Unit and did a fellowship at Middlemore Hospital.  During this time, I undertook research into colorectal polyp prevalence in Maori and Pacific islanders. I have also published research in familial bowel cancer, Helicobacter pylori, viral hepatitis and gastric hormone levels. More recently I have trained in ERCP at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, RSA.

I’m an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Auckland University. When not at work I am kept busy by four children, 2 cats and 5 hens.
