Multiple international lectures on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of opioids (methadone, sustained release morphine, pethidine and fentanyl) and membrane stabilizing drugs (gabapentin and pregabalin). Recognized for showing the relationship between opioid blood levels and pain relief and utilizing the concept of minimum effective concentration (MEC) of opioid drugs – making the prescription of opioid drugs a science rather than an art.

After leaving FMC in 2008, became the Convenor of Medical Panels SA – a Government organization set up to assess whole person impairment and/or work capacity in injured workers. My role was to determine what were the appropriate medical specialties which included general practice, to assess those workers and to ensure that the worker received and fair, unbiased and non intimidatory assessment.
