Workpassions
Whether it be students, junior staff or patients, I am passionate about assisting people make informed decision making, using current evidence-based practice. I feel knowledge is power, and being informed about their options of care assists all patients in taking ownership and control of their pregnancies and healthcare. I have a keen interest in continuity of care beyond the immediate postpartum period, recognising the need for assistance in ones care as their child gets older and is expected to meet new milestones and achievements.
