Stephen Fenner is a WA graduate who was a country GP before he trained in psychiatry. He is experienced in all aspects of OA psychiatry but in recent years, he has specialised in general hospital consultation-liaison work, while sometimes also running an inpatient OAP unit. To eascape the metropolitan tertiary hospitals, Stephen spends at least four weeks each year in rural and remote Aboriginal communities. He was a visiting psychogeriatrician in the Kimberley for 12 years and an investigator in the Kimberley Healthy Adults Project, a large NHMRC-funded community study, which ran from 2011to 2014. For the past 10 years, he has visited the WA Central Desert communities: the Ngaanyatjara Lands and Tjuntjuntjara. Stephen will talk about the lives of older Aboriginal people as he encounters them in remote communities, in the light of his clinical and research experience.
