      Writer

      I write for children and young people and the people who walk alongside them - parents, teachers and carers. My book, 'Parenting is Forever' respects families and acknowledges the privilege it has been looking after complex kids, and how wonderful the affirmation and support I have received from them - thank you. I continue to advocate for children, making submissions to government to improve the priority we place on our children. To support them within their families, schools and work places. And when I get cranky about the complexities and injustices young people face I write to newspapers, journals and on social media @dregreen4ever and @parentingisforever. When I read the medical memoirs that have been written over COVID I am moved by the stories of the hard work and heartache of medical professionals. Seems nothing has changed since I was a young hospital doctor, flying doctor and until 2022, a paediatrician. Except the heart, hope and the trust of wonderful children and their families remains. I hope young doctors get to experience that. This year, 2022, I have written memoir also - the back stories and reflections of how my life changed when I became a flying doctor - a story of chance happenings and challenges, the people who shaped me and seeking belonging. I hope to submit it soon. Show less
