An unforgettable, insightful and deeply humane memoir from a New Zealand paediatrician who has committed his life to the care and wellbeing of young people.
Dr Simon Rowley is a senior consultant neonatologist at Auckland
City Hospital (originally National Women's Hospital) with teaching
links to Starship.
Training first in Dunedin and Christchurch, Rowley completed his
postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford, UK. He also ran
his own general paediatrics private practice in Auckland for 30
years, looking after children of all ages, and was visiting
paediatrician for Plunket family centres over that same time. He is
chair of the Paediatric Vocational Training Committee for the
Auckland and Northern Region and a Director of Physician
Education.
One of Rowley's specialist areas is neonatal brain development, and
he is both a trustee and presenter for the Brainwave Trust; others
include early childhood behavioural and developmental outcomes, and
medical ethics. In particular, he is interested in how we make
decisions about end-of-life care in the vulnerable, sick or newborn
infant.
Rowley is an honorary lecturer at the University of Auckland School
of Medicine, and a recipient of the Dennis Pickup Clinical Educator
Award (2014) and a Distinguished Clinical Teacher Award (2015).
He is married with four adult children and lives in Mt Eden,
Auckland.
