Mater welcomes Dr Trisha O’Moore Sullivan as Director, Medical/Chronic Disease Services

Monday 5 September 2016

Mater is excited to welcome Dr Trisha O’Moore-Sullivan as the Director, Medical/Chronic Disease Services, further supporting our aim of enhancing clinical leadership across the organisation.

Dr O’Moore Sullivan has held the position of Director of Endocrinology at Mater Hospital Brisbane since July 2011 and Director of Mater Young Adult Health Centre Brisbane since February 2015.

Her many achievements include establishing Queensland’s first Adult Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Clinic, teaching students, residents, registrars, nursing staff, pharmacists and general practitioners for more than 20 years, and authoring and co-authoring many research publications and abstracts, with a focus on obesity and obesity related-comorbidities such as fatty liver disease and more recently in type 1 diabetes.

Dr O’Moore Sullivan is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and has been the Director of Advanced Training at Mater for the past four years. She has been a local examiner for the RACP since 2003 and a member of the National Examinations Panel since 2014. She is a member of the Australian Diabetes Society, Endocrine Society of Australia and The Obesity Society of Australia and New Zealand, and holds Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with First Class Honours and the William Nathaniel Robertson Medal from The University of Queensland.

She is also currently a member of the select committee for the Queensland Government $35 million Integrated Care Innovation Fund, and recently completed a four and a half year term as the Co-Chair of the Statewide Diabetes Clinical Network (SDCN) during which time the network worked with the Department of Health to deliver the Diabetes Statewide Health Services Strategy in 2013.

Her interest in innovative and shared models of healthcare delivery, particularly within the chronic disease setting, and demonstrated commitment to improving healthcare through the integration of health, education and research strengthens existing capability and experience across the Medical/Chronic Disease Services clinical stream, contributing to the broader aims of Mater’s Exceptional Every Time strategy.
