I was born in Brisbane and I graduated Medicine (MB BS) at the University of Queensland with Honours in the Class of 1986. My residency was spent at the Royal Brisbane and Royal Children’s Hospitals, eventually settling into four years of paediatrics at the Royal Children’s and Women’s Hospitals until 1993. During this time, I did country service in the Central Queensland Highlands (Emerald, Springsure, Blackwater, Clermont) and then did the Paediatric Registrar and Paediatric RFDS job at Mt Isa for six months.
A decision to pursue a management career eventually brought me to Townsville to take the job of CEO at the (then) Park Haven Private Hospital in 1996 before going back to full-time clinical medicine in 2001.
I joined Hermit Park Clinic as an associate in 2001 and became a 50% owner with Dr Canning in 2007.
With experience in rural medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and an interest in procedures, I now concentrate on family medicine including Family Planning (including Mirena/IUD insertion, Implanon insertion and Vasectomy) and kids’ medicine. I have a busy vasectomy practice and believe it is an important procedure for both men and women. I am, of course, a GP and completed my specialist GP qualification (FRACGP) in 2007. I enjoy procedures in general so lumps, bumps, cysts and skin cancers comprise some of the work I love.
Hermit Park Clinic is a teaching practice for GP trainees and medical students (JCU) and I’m one of three accredited supervisors at the clinic. I travel regularly from Mackay to Bamega and inland to Mt Isa and all points in-between to teach and assess trainees as part of their GP specialist training program.
Sleep GP Dr Carlson is specially trained in sleep medicine, specifically focusing on the management of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. He will devise a personalised treatment plan that includes ongoing care to find a solution and put patients on the pathway to successfully managing their sleep disorder.
