Overview
Background
Dr Joseph Turner works clinically as a GP Obstetrician/Rural Generalist, having received his primary medical degree at the University of Queensland. He completed his PhD in Pharmacy at the University of Sydney. His current reseach interests include women's and reproductive health, restorative reproductive medicine, and fertility awareness based methods of family planning.
He has a particular focus on progesterone-after-mifepristone (PAM) for women who have changed their mind after commencing a medical abortion and who wish instead to keep their pregnancy. Some of these women seek to undertake what is colloquially known as "abortion reversal." Dr Turner conducted the second only clinical trial in this field (the PAMper study) and is collaborating internationally with further research into abortion reversal. His research is clinically-oriented, aiming to provide high quality quantitative and qualitative data in order to assist women facing difficult abortion decisions. He has authored a number of key publications in the field of abortion reversal and is one of the leading international experts in the field.
