Nga manaakitanga Jeff Hodson [email protected] Dr Hugh Lees – Chief Medical Advisor “I support clinicians to improve the care of patients and our colleagues.” In my Chief Medical Advisor role, I provide clinical governance expertise to the Executive Team. In my capacity as Medical Director, I work closely with the COO, clinical staff, national and regional colleagues and external agencies, in providing clinical leadership and direction to help improve the health of individuals and the Bay of Plenty population. I believe that improving patient care and the care we show our colleagues are equally important. A little about me ... I was born in South Auckland and grew up in Papakura, Auckland. I was part of the fourth intake at the Auckland Medical School, graduating in 1976, and came to the Bay of Plenty having attained a Second Year House Officer post at Tauranga Hospital in 1978. My first run was undertaken in Paediatrics which forged my future direction, and my passion. After completing my training in Paediatrics in 1984 I took up the role of Paediatric Consultant in 1985, and remained so, until my appointment as BOPDHB’s Chief Medical Advisor/Medical Director in July 2014. On my professional journey I have also held the roles of Head of Paediatrics at Tauranga Hospital, from 2005, and Medical Leader of BOPDHB’s Woman, Child & Family Service, from 2006.
