Jane, BSc (Hons) NZ, M Phil (London), Dip TCM (Syd), Cert Acup/Herb (China) made a sharp career path change in the late seventies from scientific medical research to chinese medicine. Studies in Australia and hospitals in China at different times over the following 12 years steeped her in the very different medical system, TCM. She has attempted to bring the best of this medicine to a clinical practice in the west addressing the healthcare needs of western women. 25 years on, she sits comfortably with the logic of both Chinese medicine and western science and feels both can contribute greatly to positive therapeutic outcomes for the patient. The medical climate of Sydney, Australia combined with the demands of well informed patients has allowed a useful degree of interprofessional exchange wherein Jane has been able to share expertise and patient care with GPs and specialists in the area of gynaecology and infertility. In addition to running a busy practice, Jane is a lecturer at the University of Western Sydney where she teaches post graduate Masters students. She is author of The Treatment of Infertility with Chinese Medicine and co-author of The Clinical Handbook of Internal Medicine Vol 1 and 2.
