Biography

David is an experienced palliative medicine physician with expertise in supporting people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

He works with a multi-disciplinary team of allied health practitioners, nurses and medical staff to optimise the ability
of people to fulfil key wishes late in life.

Better and fairer care. Always.
