Dr Megan Brooks
Clinical Partnerships Lead - State Health Coordination Centre, SA
Professional Bio
Megan is a passionate advocate for process and system improvements that support equitable patient access to healthcare when, where and how they need. Fundamentally this can be achieved by providing more efficient means for clinicians to deliver patient care - including provision of contemporary electronic solutions for administrative tasks. At a system level, she articulates the need for the business processes surrounding health care delivery to be fit for purpose and designed to support rather than hinder clinicians to deliver patient care.
Megan completed her Fellowship in Emergency Medicine in 2013, having trained in Adelaide and the north coast of NSW, and soon joined the ED Consultant group at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) in July 2013, non-clinically she particularly focussed on improving care for Mental Health consumers in ED. Megan returned from maternity leave in February 2016, and soon after began to lead the work to prepare the RAH ED for the move to the new hospital in September 2017. Three months prior to the move Megan was appointed as the Director of the Royal Adelaide Hospital ED.
In October 2019, Megan was appointed to the role of Medical Lead for Acute and Urgent Care, RAH. This entailed leading General Medicine, Geriatrics, Trauma, Toxicology and the Emergency Department. In April 2020 the RAH was nominated as the receiving hospital for all Adult COVID in SA, and she took on the additional role of Clinical Operational Lead for the COVID response.
In December 2022 Megan resigned from the Medical Lead role, and commenced work as the Clinical Partnerships Lead for the new South Australian State Health Coordination Centre, with a particular focus on delivering a new statewide electronic and EMR based process to support patient transfers between all public health facilities statewide.
Megan lives in the beautiful Adelaide Hills will her fellow FACEM husband, two children and an assortment of pets, and when not working can be found in her garden or cooking.
