Ian is a Rehabilitation Physician with a PhD in Medicine. His major interests are rehabilitation and injury related disability. Ian has research projects in falls and injury prevention, rehabilitation and recovery after injury, and health services research. He is investigating the evidence base for rehabilitation and works closely with the Cochrane Collaboration. Ian collaborates with rehabilitation professionals, epidemiologists, social scientists, health economists and other medical practitioners. He is actively involved in the development of the Medical Program at the University of Sydney and teaches in it. Ian provides expert advice to Australian and State Governments, Area Health Services and other organisations on injury management issues, rehabilitation programs and aged care services. Other areas of work are as supervisor of post doctoral fellows and PhD students, clinician (Consultant Physician in Rehabilitation Medicine) and in administration (Director of Medical Services at Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney).
