Northern Suburbs

 I qualified at Stellenbosch Medical School, and served a rural community as GP, District Surgeon and Hospital Superintendent for many years. I enjoyed lecturing at Free-State Medical School, before spending 10 years in the UK, as NHS trauma- and Bupa Wellness physician.

After returning to South Africa the certificate in Palliative Medicine was completed at Stellenbosch Medical School,. I then joined Chariot Health at the beginning of 2021.

I am currently serving the Northern Suburbs with Palliative Care, Pain relief and General Medical care.

My passion is my calling as doctor, being somewhat of a workaholic, while enjoying time with my 4 sons, their families and 7 grandchildren.

I’ve qualified as a registered nurse in 2014 at western cape College of nursing. Since 2015 worked in different fields and gained a lot of experience. Until 2020 when I started working for Tygerberg Hospice and did the palliative care course as well as facilitating course.

Since then, I’ve became passionate about palliative care, to care for patients and manage their pain and symptoms and give emotional support to the patient’s families. I believe that palliative care chose me.

I’m married with 2 boys, I love baking, reading and spend quality time with my family

I qualified as a general nurse through the Sharley Cribb Nursing College in 1991. In 2000, after gaining experience in various fields, I decided to expand my knowledge within the Intensive Care Unit through Pretoria Technikon.

In 2003 I became involved in caring for the elderly, which included a focus on dementia care. I have also since included palliative care within my work involving geriatric care with an emphasis on wound care and management.

I just love being a nurse and am incredibly devoted to my profession.
