Paul graduated with Honours from Monash University Medical School in 1994 and the following year began a much-lauded 19 year association with Monash Health, particularly at Monash Medical Centre, Clayton and related hospitals. In 2003, Paul began training as an interventional cardiologist and, with natural manual dexterity and the ability to make rapid, clear decisions, it was evident he was made for the subspecialty. Paul was among the most naturally gifted of trainees. Paul was appointed as a consultant cardiologist with MonashHeart in 2005, and his leadership, dedication and communication skills saw him quickly promoted to head of acute cardiac services by 2007. Under Paul’s leadership, the acute cardiac care units at Monash Medical Centre and Dandenong Hospital developed into one seamless unit. Paul worked tirelessly side by side with his colleagues to create MonashHeart, now Victoria’s largest cardiology service provider, with an enviable reputation nationally and internationally. Paul joined the MonashHeart/CVCTA cardiac CT teaching faculty, teaching the art and science of cardiac CT imaging at all 14 subsequent level-A courses to hundreds of cardiologists and radiologists from Australia and New Zealand. Paul was also instrumental in establishing Melbourne Heart Care, a Brighton based private cardiology practice also consulting at and working in the cardiology department at Linacre Private Hospital. Paul will be remembered for the love of his family as a caring, devoted and doting father, as a truly gifted, compassionate and caring cardiologist and as a kind, tolerant and great-humoured friend. He will never be far from our thoughts. Thanks to Professor Ian Meredith for his contribution to this tribute. Suzanne (centre) pictured with members of her team.
