About Jason
Jason's career in both practice and academia
Jason's professional career has been both in private practice and academia. Over the past two decades he has spent considerable time contributing to the education of upcoming professionals as a Senior Clinical Supervisor to final year podiatry students at the Queensland University of Technology. Here he has overseen the paediatric rotation as senior paediatric lead for the graduating students.
Following his years of diligent service, Jason was awarded the title of Clinical Fellow of the Faculty of Health at QUT. Jason's scope within the paediatric field is extensive and over the years he has developed a special interest in pathologies relating to connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, hypermobility spectrum disorders and osteogenesis imperfecta.
Master of LBF's onsite laboratory
Jason oversees LBF's onsite orthoses laboratory, where he is able to efficiently produce devices for children and adolescents in a timely and cost-effective manner.
"Some families travel from afar to see us. Sometimes it's a few hours in the car, other times it's from across the border. Time is precious. If we can save families one extra trip, or a few hours in their day... that's what we'll try to do."
Family Man
Doting father to one teen and one nearly-teen, Jason is renowned for his fabulous rapport with children. Jason works closely with his wife, and fellow podiatrist, Sophie, to create a relaxed, and comfortable environment for the children to be in.
"... you have to connect with the child... find a way to make them comfortable. Once you've met that challenge, the rest is easy."
