Dr Rodney Pearce
MB BS, FAMA
Federal Councillor
Dr Rod Pearce has studied
in Adelaide and worked at the RAH, TQEH and Modbury hospitals
before starting work in his current city practice. He has
worked in rural areas of South Australia and continues to
work in medical politics to enhance the opportunities for
better patient care.
Dr Pearce is on the board
of the Influenza Specialist Group, AGPAL/QIP, the Adelaide
Central and Eastern Division of General Practice, and TRACsa.
As a member of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on
Immunisation, he has a national interest in immunisation.
He also chairs the National
General Practice Supervisors Association, and is keenly
interested in educating the next generation of doctors.
Patient empowerment is
a key issue for Dr Pearce, and he finds great satisfaction
in helping people stay well, as well as the insights that
working with his patients provides. He believes that the
medical profession is given a privileged position in the
community and that it is vital that the profession responds
to this and keeps the respect of the community and the confidence
of patients.
