More about Dr Kate

I am a GP registrar (a doctor training to be a specialist GP), and I spent half a decade as a nurse before becoming a doctor. I love all things health and am especially interested in women's health issues, preventative medicine, public health, nutrition & exercise, and in getting people interested in learning more and making a difference to their own health. So much of the disease burden on our society is preventable and it is up to us as health professionals and as community members to make it easier for people to make positive changes in their own lives. The health and wellbeing of doctors is also close to my heart, and the experience of being a doctor in the Australian health system is a topic I often write about.

When I'm not working I love being outdoors, hiking and exploring and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you all!
