He began his early paediatric training at Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, completing further training at Princess Margret Hospital for Children in Perth and The Royal Hobart Hospital.
Long fascinated by the emotional and intellectual development of the paediatric brain, Geoff’s clinical emphasis is on children with complex behavioural and emotional difficulties, working to optimize their social, family and academic engagement and support their self-esteem. Geoff has post graduate qualifications in Paediatric Rheumatology and also works within The Royal Hobart’s Paediatric Diabetes Team.
Geoff is passionate about learning from children and their families and communicating his experience. Every year he educates local school students about sleep and screen-time and parents about ADHD, Autism and engaging with their children. He has presented workshops for paediatricians and other health professionals on ADHD and other topics in Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart and Launceston.
