Dr Charles Douglas
Dr. Douglas is a relatively early career academic, having not taken
an academic appointment, or commenced a PhD until establishing
himself in his clinical career in 2004. He originally studied
mathematics and physics at the University of Adelaide, and worked as
a school teacher, which gave him a strong background in science
generally and in teaching. He commenced medical training at the
University of Newcastle in 1985, and completed his B Med with
honours in 1990, having also completed a Bachelor of Medical Science
in transplantation with first class honours, further strengthening
his research background. Dr. Douglas then undertook post-graduate
training in surgery, taking a break from this in 1999 to do a year
of research in ethics (relating to surgery). Soon after completion
of his surgical training, an opportunity arose to take an academic
position at the University of Newcastle as a Lecturer in Clinical
Ethics and Health Law. He has continued in this role while
developing his surgical expertise in the areas of breast cancer and
melanoma surgery. He now works as a consultant surgeon at the Breast
Centre, Gateshead, and at the Newcastle Melanoma Unit, and as a VMO
surgeon at the Calvary Mater and Lake Macquarie Private Hospitals.
In 2008 he was promoted to Senior Lecturer.
Dr. Douglas has
developed a very wide range of research interests in ethics,
clinical decision making, basic science and surgery. He submitted
his PhD (on end-of-life decision making) in 2011. He was holder of a
Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Research Scholarship in 1999
and a Fellowship of the Federation of European Cancer Societies in
2003. He is also winner of the inaugural General Surgeons Australia
Best Paper Prize for his work on the ultrasound diagnosis of
appendicitis and the winner of the Sir Edward Hughes Memorial
Research Prize for this project (1999). He was shortlisted again for
the Sir Edward Hughes Memorial Research Prize for his work on
surgeons attitudes to euthanasia (2000). He is the winner of the
Ethel and Olive Hewitt Medical Research Scholarship in 2001. He won
two ECR grants relating to his work on interviews with palliative
care physicians regarding the use of palliative sedation at the end
of life in 2007 and 2009, and is already internationally recognised
for his work in this area.
