Qualifications and memberships

Dr Hazel is a highly qualified and experienced GP, who is passionate about supporting her patients through their health journey and has a special interest in Integrative Medicine.

Graduating from Medical School in the UK in 2010, Dr Hazel was awarded her Medical Degree, plus an additional Bachelor of Science Degree as a result of spending an extra year studying Global Health. As part of this further training, she travelled to Ethiopia for research.

Following on from Medical School, she worked as a junior doctor for 2 years in the UK before moving to Perth in 2012. Here in Australia, she met her partner, adopted a beautiful rescue dog, and had her two young children. In 2018, Dr Hazel obtained her Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.  

Dr Hazel has worked in hospital-based medicine for several years and was fortunate to have worked for 18 months specialising in palliative care, where she did further study and obtained a Clinical Diploma in Palliative Medicine. She always knew General Practice was where she was going to settle, as she loves the variety of work and continuity of care with her patients.

Dr Hazel started to study integrative medicine in 2021, by completing further study through the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM). She is currently in the process of completing a fellowship through the college. She is also a member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, The Australia chronic infection and inflammatory disease society and the Australian College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Areas of specialty and approach to treatment

Hazel can offer a more detailed and thorough approach to managing:

  • Women’s health, including peri-menopause, menopause, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS and irregular periods
  • Autoimmune conditions, including thyroid disorders
  • Pregnancy and post-partum support
  • Hypermobility spectrum disorder

Dr Hazel’s greatest qualities as an Integrative GP is her calm and compassionate nature and her ability to connect with patients.  She is relatable, open-minded, and non-judgemental. Integrative medicine enables her to spend more time with patients to perform a multi-system review and tackle the root cause of symptoms and disease.

Due to regulations in place, Dr Hazel does not currently prescribe compounded bio-identical hormones or thyroid extract.

Due to the specialist and popular nature of integrative medicine, there is often a lack of availability of appointments. Therefore, Dr Hazel requires you to maintain a relationship with your regular GP for urgent and acute health needs. She does not have the capacity to undertake Workers Comp or Motor vehicle injury claims.
