Dr Christopher Neil MBBS FRACP PhD, has practised medicine for 20 years, specialising in cardiology since 2008. Completing his PhD in Adelaide and undertaking post-doctoral research and a fellowship in the UK, he has been committed to clinical excellence in the care of patients with heart failure.
Returning to a specialist consultant post in his hometown of Melbourne, in 2013, he focused on developing improved systems of care for heart failure patients, whilst continuing to research in hospitals, mentor physicians in training and supervise PhD students. His passion, however, has always been for his patients and when he saw their health impacted and their rights infringed, he stood against what he saw as unethical and unjustifiable mandates, resulting in his termination in October 2021. Dr Neil returned to practise this year.
He was a co-founder of AMPS in 2021 and continues as the current President.
