Andrew trained initially in Liverpool in the UK and obtained his membership of the College of

Physicians in 1998. After immigrating to Australia, he continued his training in internal medicine

and palliative care at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in

Sydney, becoming a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physicians in 1993. On returning to

Perth, Andrew established the palliative care service at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH)

and St John of God Hospital (SJG) Subiaco and was appointed professor of palliative medicine

by ECU.

Driven by his passion to help patients with life-threatening illnesses, Andrew furthered his

training in medical oncology and began working full-time as a medical oncologist in 2006. He is

currently the head of the Department of Medical Oncology at SJOG Subiaco and, at Genesis

CancerCare at Shenton House in Joondalup.

Andrew’s key areas of interest are upper gastrointestinal and gynaecological tumours. He has

published articles on symptom control, novel therapies for ovarian and pancreatic cancer and

the molecular profiling of solid tumours. He regularly participates in international clinical trials

and continues to be a major contributor to pancreatic, lung and ovarian cancer studies.

Beyond clinical practice, Andrew is the founding Chair of WARPNINE, a Western Australian notfor-

profit dedicated to advancing research, raising awareness, and providing support for

individuals and families affected by pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and rare cancers.
