Caring For Women Perth Western Australia

Caring for Women Medical Practice Perth Western Australia

The practice of this name is now closed but Dr Margaret Smith is still committed to teaching medical students about women's health and is available to give talks to any interested groups.

She will continue to keep up-to-date with the latest findings on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as she is a Life Member of The Australasian Menopause Society (of which she was a founding member in 1988).

She is also a student and teacher at the School of Philosophy in Perth. See their website for details about this - www.philosophywa.com.au/.

Margaret will continue to update her news column.

The New Book

Dr Margaret Smith has lived and worked in Perth for nearly 40 years and is well known to several thousand women whose babies she has delivered or whose hot flushes she has treated.

Graduating in medicine in Adelaide over 50 years ago she has seen enormous changes in her profession and in the acceptance of women doctors.

These memoirs tell of her journey in time and place and may at times seem judgemental in comparing Now with Then but it is, after all, just one woman's story.

There are some graphic stories of obstetric difficulties, especially in New Guinea, and her own near-death encounter, but these are leavened with much fun and laughter. Philosophy, music and many magnificent friendships have made the whole journey worthwhile and worth recording.
