Hello to all,
I have just registered & would like to introduce myself, with a brief background.
I qualified in South Africa at Wits Tech. Post graduate course included a B. Sc (Hons) through Brighton University (UK). Upon qualifying, I spent 5 and 1/2 years in the South African Defence Force (4 as Head of Podiatry), stationed at 1 Military Hospital. Six years of private practice followed before we decided to migrate to Melbourne, Australia
I managed to spend 2 years working throughout UK as a locum & for NHS (Wales, London. Oxford.Cambridge, Lincoln, Derby........).
I have been living in Melbourne since 2001, and thus far have worked at various Community Health Centres, & part-time private practice, with my last role being involved in research with various professors ( Endocrinology Centre & Chronic Wound Clinic).
I have now taken the final step into full-time self employment, and seem to have some spare time!!! (Until clinics pick up further..)
Would love to hear from colleagues old & new alike.
PS. I'm a LIVERPOOL F.C Fanatic & a keen soccer player, having played provincial in the Defence Force
Catch you later...
