Professor in Maternal Fetal Medicine FRANZCOG, FHKCOG, FHKAM, FRCOG, DDU, CMFM, MD Mater Mothers' Hospital, South Brisbane Phone: + 61 7 3840 8844 Fax: +61 7 3840 1949 Email: fchan@mater.org.au (mailto:fchan@mater.org.au)
Professor Chan is a graduate of the University of Hong Kong. She received most of her specialist training in Hong Kong, including one year as a Commonwealth Scholar in Oxford in 1984. She is a Fellow of the Hong Kong, British, and Australian & New Zealand Colleges of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists.
Professor Chan migrated to Australia in 1993, and completed the Certificate of Maternal Fetal Medicine of the RANZCOG in 1995. She was the first Queensland Obstetrician to receive this Subspecialist certificate, and one of twelve in Australia at that time. In the same year, she was awarded a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Hong Kong.
She was the founding Director of Centre for Maternal Fetal Medicine at the Mater Mothers' Hospital, and has a current conjoint appointment as Professor and Senior Specialist in Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of Queensland, Mater Mothers' Hospital. Professor Chan's interest covers all aspects of antenatal screening, diagnosis, and therapy. Recognising the difficulties in providing tertiary services poised by the vast size of Australia, her team has successfully pioneered the use of real-time tele-ultrasound to provide sub-specialist expertise to regional centres in Queensland. She received several National awards, and has been invited to scientific meetings overseas to present this work.
As an extension of their telemedicine expertise, her team has also tele-linked to a world renowned fetal therapy centre in Florida (USA). This has assisted in the successful introduction of fetal endoscopic surgery to Australia. The Mater has now performed the largest number of fetsocopic laser surgery for severe twin to twin transfusion syndrome in the Asia Pacific, with results matching the best centres around the world. Professor Chan is keen to continue their telemedicine work to other centres in Australia, and overseas.
