A brief biography
Adrian was Professor at the College of Medicine and Public Health, Flinders University and Fellow of ANZAHPE. He played an instrumental role in establishing a solid foundation for the physiotherapy course at Flinders University, and is currently affiliated with the Prideaux Centre for Research in Health Professions Education. Adrian was deputy director of the Greater Green Triangle University Department of Rural Health (Flinders University and Deakin University) where, starting with physiotherapy, he established an allied health workforce enhancement project, funded by the Victorian Department of Human Services. The program evolved into a state-wide continuing education program for 22 allied professions in Victoria that also provided online access to other Australian jurisdictions.
Interests include clinical education, complexity science and transformative learning, and rural health workforce development and associated health service enhancement, particularly in the area of interprofessional learning and practice, and chronic disease prevention and management. Rural health workforce recruitment and retention issues, and associated health services are complex. Research and consultancy work include working with very different disciplines to understand complexity and appreciate the different paradigms, and find opportunities for innovation. Associated work informs policymakers, administrators, educators and health professionals, and can be found on ResearchGate, LinkedIn and ORCID.
