In this podcast Anne Wilson, CEO Emerge Australia is in an enlightening conversation with Associate Professor Bernard Shiu, the Clinical Director of Banksia Medical Centre and Geelong Long COVID Clinic in Victoria; and Chair RACGP Energy Living Conditions & Post-Infection Disease Working Group. Bernard was recognised as the RACGP GP of the Year in 2020, and under his leadership, Banksia Medical Centre was awarded National RACGP General Practice of the Year in 2023.
“The government has a key role to play in improving outcomes for patients through investing in specialist clinics along with workforce support and planning.”
With a strong clinical focus on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), long COVID, and other complex chronic conditions, Associate Professor Shiu is deeply committed to advancing patient care and educating GPs. In addition to his clinical work, Bernard is an experienced researcher and medical educator with extensive involvement in training both medical students, graduate candidates and healthcare professionals.
“It’s so important that we listen to, and learn from patients living with ME/CFS – their knowledge informs better practice to improve outcomes not only for patients with ME/CFS, but also for those who are living with long COVID and associated energy limiting conditions“
