Dr Stacey prefers to take a “whole of person” approach to healthcare. In practice, this means consideration is given to an individual’s social, cultural, biological, economic, occupational, and environmental circumstances.

When she’s not in the clinic, Dr Stacey works as a Medical Educator for GPs in training and other doctors.
