Liz completed her medical degree and general practice training in the UK, working as a GP in the South East and London for over 10 years before moving to Melbourne with her family in 2014.
During her hospital training in the late 1990s Liz worked in regional Australia, becoming familiar with the healthcare needs of a diverse range of Australians before returning to the UK to complete her training.
Several years later in London she met and married an Australian, and after working in London, they moved, along with their two children, to Melbourne. In their spare time they enjoy the cultural life of Melbourne, along with travelling, camping and exploring the great outdoors.
