Alison is an obstetrician / gynaecologist, with a special interest in advanced laparoscopic surgery.

After graduating from Melbourne University medical school, Alison completed obstetric and gynaecology training at The Royal Women's Hospital (Melbourne). She then spent three years at Guy's and St Thomas' (London), gaining further surgical experience while completing a Master of Surgical Education at Imperial College. Alison then completed an advanced laparoscopic gynaecology Fellowship with A/Prof Alan Lam in Sydney.

She adopted A/Prof Lam's surgical techniques for laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy, amongst other operations.

Her current research interests include: antimicrobial prophylaxis, specimen extraction techniques, and a biomarker for endometriosis.
