Dr Sean Murray-Smith graduated at Victoria University of Manchester Medical School. Prior to arriving in Australia, he was ENT Registrar in the North Lonsdale Hospital, Barrow in Furness. On arrival in Australia, he worked as a jackaroo in NSW, worked in ED running the ENT clinic and later worked as a GP in Whyalla and Beaudesert.
As a founding member of the Australasian College of Tropical Medicine he was the prime mover in piloting the malaria screening programme. The success of this reducing acute episodes of malaria led to its introduction into the whole of North Queensland. Following this he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (London).
During the 1993 Dengue epidemic in North Queensland he made a case control study of the effectiveness of insect screens in preventing spread of Dengue.
He then moved to Adelaide, working in several practices until settling into Aldinga Medical Centre. In 2015 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Australia.
His interests include ENT, using an operating microscope to clear ears of wax and foreign bodies; diagnosis and management of skin diseases; flying radio control model aircraft; rugby union; science awareness in the community and curry at the excellent Indian restaurant on the Esplanade at Aldinga. He is a regular elf in the Christmas Santa fly-in sponsored and run by Aldinga Biplanes at the local airfield.
