Leigh is an interprofessional education academic with Flinders NT and is passionate about growing the healthcare workforce in underserviced areas. She has worked as a pharmacist in rural and remote areas of the Northern Territory for over 25 years and has been involved in the education of a range of healthcare students since 2007. Leigh’s interest in research led to recent completion of a Master of Public Health and a project examining the use of antibiotics in the first year of life for children in remote communities. As a ‘first in family’ university graduate from a rural area, Leigh has personal experience and an awareness of the barriers faced by students from different equity groups.
