Dr Lauren Bradbury — The Holistic Attractions of Rural Medical Oncology
Listen on:
Born and trained in the UK, Dr Lauren Bradbury came to Australia to experience new things. A short visit turned into a permanent commitment when she experienced the joys of working as a rural medical oncologist in regional NSW. First thinking about becoming an emergency doctor, and then a surgeon, it was while she was doing an internship in geriatric care that she discovered the professional fulfillment of working holistically with patients. On a rotation, Dr Bradbury subsequently discovered that medical oncology “spoke” to her both scientifically and with its patient-oriented practice. Now loving her work in a collegiate, rural environment, she spends her time working in and outside of her hospital, conducting outreach programmes with a wide variety of patients across a large part of central NSW.
