"I trained in London, UK at St Barts & The Royal London Medical school , graduating in 1998. I won a scholarship to study an intercalated degree in Pharmacology during my 6 yrs at medical school. I graduated GP Specialty Training in 2003, with Distinction ''.
"I fell in love with Australia in 2000, when I worked at Gosford Hospital. After more than a decade as a UK GP, I realised my dream to return on a permanent basis & I was extremely fortunate to join Erina Fair Medical Care, where I’ve worked since 2014."
"I am an enthusiastic ’generalist’, determined to maintain skills across the breadth of medicine. I believe the 'generalist' role leads to good care of the patient as a human being (rather than a collection of organs). I promote continuity of care between patient & GP, to best serve each individual's own situation. Communication & collaboration are key priorities, which I try to promote."
Dr Orr has held teaching & training posts for undergraduate & postgraduate medics, ''I thrive on the continuing need to revisit, research & refresh my knowledge base in order to maintain my skills. Teaching junior medics dovetails perfectly with this ''.
"I love ocean swimming, though I lack the balance for a surf board! Music is a balm to my soul and I'm also an avid sports fan, particularly football (soccer), cricket & my son has signed me up as a Parramatta Eels fan!"
