Dr Jayde Clarke
Dr. Jayde Clark completed her medical training at the University of Adelaide in 2003 before working at the RAH and FMC. She subsequently undertook GP training in outer metropolitan locations and an Aboriginal Health centre.
Dr Clarke worked at a nursing home as a kitchen-hand and carer for 8 years as a high school and university student and enjoyed the banter with the residents as well as the challenges the work presented. As a GP she had the privilege of taking over the care of many nursing home residents from one of her GP mentors upon his retirement. She enjoyed this work – the complexity of the medicine, the ability to work in a team, the feeling of making a difference to the resident’s health.
She has come across some examples of difficulty in access to high quality timely health care in the aged care sector and would like to help make a difference.
