Over the next 3 years John travelled widely and worked in hospital emergency departments across Scotland and Darwin. During that time John decided that he would like to return to Cairns and its appealing lifestyle and in 2015 he finally made it.  John does some work in emergency medicine at the Cairns Hospital to keep up his skills. He enjoys spending time with his family and all things outdoors, including mountain biking, hiking, and camping.

Dr Rowan Gibbs

M.B.B.S

Dr Row, who is originally from Newcastle, has called Cairns home for much of the past two decades. Before embarking on a career in rural generalist medicine, Dr Row was a commercial fisherman, consultant to the Australian Fisheries Management Authority, photographer and snake handler.

“After fishing, I worked as a consultant and observer for state and federal fisheries for a little while and did some work in remote communities in the Cape and the Gulf,” says Dr Gibbs. “I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for underserviced communities.”

Life in those remote communities inspired his decision to study medicine.

Dr Row is undertaking specialised training in emergency medicine, lifestyle medicine, palliative care and skin cancer medicine with the goal of running outreach clinics for rural and remote patients in the future.

Dr. Janet Chan

M.B.B.S.

Originally from Canada, Dr. Janet graduated from James Cook University in 2015.  Janet loves the diversity that general practice offers and getting to know her patients. She also has a special interest in children’s health.
