I have been reporting on health and medical issues since the late 1980s and have worked at metropolitan newspapers and a national magazine in Australia. I have been freelancing for the past decade, and also have adjunct (honorary) appointments in the Sydney School of  PUblic Health at University of Sydney and in the Notre Dame University's Medical School, Sydney campus. I have written a number of books about health-related issues - more info at www.sweetcommunication.com.au
