Overview
Background
My current appointment is Director of Kidney Services at Redland Hospitals in Metro South, Brisbane, where I practice as a senior consultant nephrologist.
My research interests are varied and include post-transplant anaemia and iron metabolism, and novel measures of iron status such as hepcidin; improving dialysis outcomes though the implementation of evidence-based guidelines; kidney disease due to thrombotic microangiopathy (particularly aHUS) and the role of inhibitors of the complement system in kidney disease; and the use of honey to prevent infections in dialysis patients.
I am committed to teaching medical students and young nephrologists, and am actively involved in medical education at all levels.

Research impacts
The impact of my research in peritoneal dialysis has been a significant improvement in PD-related infection rates in Australia, which until a few years ago were worse than many other countries in the world. Through a variety of initiatives including a project aiming to improve the use of evidence-based guidelines in clinical practice, we have seen a significant improvement in PD-related infections (particularly peritonitis but also exit-site infections), one of the most significant contributors to peritoneal dialysis technique failure.
In kidney transplantation my research has helped to clarify the role of immune suppressing medications on iron availability and anaemia and has looked at novel ways of measuring iron status in patients with kidney disease as well as better ways of enhancing iron stores in these patients.
