My clinical work continues across the breadth of general paediatric surgery with areas of special interest in hepatobiliary surgery in children, surgical oncology and thoracic paediatric surgery. I also have a strong interest in surgical education and standards, having contributed to the development and delivery of skills courses, curricula, and professional development programs within RACS such as TIPS, OWR, CcRISP and EMST/ATLS. I am a member of the Paediatric Surgical Training Committee, a retired examiner, and a previous section convenor for previous ASC’s. I continue to visit the Pacific and proudly include my honorary position as a visiting member of the staff at CWM Hospital Suva as a notable and valued opportunity for me. Joining RACS Council in 2021 as the specialty representative I have had a number of roles. I have been PSEC chair, CSET chair and am the current Censor In Chief for RACS. Being an ex officio member of the AoNZ National Committee is an important part of my College responsibility. I was humbled and honored to be elected as your next president of RACS and commence this position at the Perth ASC. I look forward to the opportunity and challenges this role provides and will draw on the collective wisdom and experience within RACS in so doing
