How long you have been practicing

I have been practicing since 2015.

Tell me about your work history

I started work in the aged care sector, whilst also working in private practice before moving into a busy bariatric clinic seeing patients pre and post bariatric surgery. My passion for surgery lead me to consulting with patients on the wards at Hurstville Private Hospital and subsequently becoming apart of the allied health team, 3 years later and I’m still here!

What are your areas of special interests

I have a special interest in bariatric surgery and am also associate member of the Australian & New Zealand Metabolic and Obesity Surgery Society. Jodie has also completed the Medical Nutrition Therapy in Bariatric Surgery course, run by the DAA Centre for Advanced Learning.

I also have a special interest in Diabetes management, and enjoy educating patients of how they can have a healthy lifestyle.  

What do you feel is the difference between MIH to other facilities

We are a one stop shop, with Orthopedic Specialists and Allied Health Team all under one roof.

Your position at the Musculoskeletal Institate and Hurstville Private Hospital

I am the Senior Clinical Dietitian at MIH and on the wards at Hurstville Private Hospital. I work with our patients at the Hospital to ensure they are safely discharged post surgery or a medical admission stay. 

I offer outpatient consultations in MIH and work closely with my patients to ensure they are on the right track with their Health. I also work closely with the Surgical and Pre-admission team at Hurstville Private when patients are going through Bariatric Surgery, to ensure they have support every step of the way.
