About The Role

We provide outpatient and inpatient care to people with a wide range of endocrine conditions, including pituitary disorders, thyroid disease, adrenal disease, gonadal disorders and metabolic bone disease. We also provide diabetes care, with an interdisciplinary team, for all types of diabetes, including hyper-glycaemia in pregnancy.
The position of staff specialist endocrinologist will provide outpatient care in endocrinology, diabetes and hyper-glycaemia in pregnancy. The endocrinologist will also provide inpatient care to people admitted with acute endocrine emergencies, advise patients admitted under other teams in Canberra Hospital with diabetes and other endocrine conditions, and provide peri-operative care for patients having pituitary surgery. The endocrinologist will also contribute to the department in terms of teaching, trainee supervision, quality improvement activities and/or research, and to the broader hospital community.
