Overview
Special clinical interest in wide field skin, prostate, urological, benign conditions, breast and palliative patients.
Brad completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) at the University of Adelaide before undertaking his radiation oncology training in South Australia. In 2015 he was awarded Fellowship to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (FRANZCR). He currently practices as a consultant radiation oncology specialist with GenesisCare in Buderim, Nambour, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay with outreach clinics in Gympie and Noosa.
Brad is committed to the continued improvement of patient care through the delivery of advanced treatment techniques, including volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and image guided radiotherapy (IGRT). In recent years Brad has presented at multiple medical conferences on the topics of skin and prostate cancer. He regularly participates in multidisciplinary team meetings and believes in a holistic approach to patient care.
Brad has an established record of achievement in clinical teaching and has been awarded the academic title of Senior Lecturer by the University of Queensland School of Medicine. As well as supervising medical student tutorials, he is also a clinical examiner at the University of Queensland. He currently serves on the GenesisCare National Skin Cancer Tumour Reference Group (TRG) and has previously served as the chairman of the Wide Bay Urology MDT.
While working across all tumour types, Brad has specific clinical expertise and interest in the management of wide field skin, prostate & urological, benign conditions, breast and palliative patients. His current major technical interests are in the use of 3D printed bolus for wide field skin treatments.
