Dr Abby’s life has been fatefully interwoven with the coast. Before she started her medical career, she was an Embryologist at John Flynn Hospital, she started her medical training at Gold Coast University Hospital where she first met Dr Swift. Dr Abby’s family are also here on the beautiful Gold Coast.
Most recently, Dr Abby finalised her advanced training at the prominent high-risk Mater Mothers Brisbane Hospital and QE2 Brisbane Hospital. It was whilst practicing at QE2 that she chose to further advance her laparoscopic surgical skills for endometriosis working with AGES fellow Dr Albert Jung. Dr Abby excelled in advanced specialised modules of colposcopy, pelvic floor disorders and laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. She studied extensively under Professor Goh, a trail blazer in urogynaecology, specialising in the management of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ/vaginal prolapse.
Dr Abby relished the opportunity to practice with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, providing expert care to the women of Western and Greater Western Queensland. Her experience gained working in rural parts of Australia further ignited Dr Abby’s flame for promoting women’s rights. Dr Abby is dedicated to remaining at the forefront of the latest research pertaining to your gynaecological needs; she keeps current by regularly attending conferences and meetings. She also contributes to the education of future doctors through her position as a senior lecturer at Griffith University School of Medicine and Dentistry.
