Doctor NOS

50 | Dame Sue Bagshaw on consent, family planning & youth health

Dr. Maple Goh

Dame Susan Bagshaw was born in Hong Kong and learnt to be at home where her suitcase was. Her suitcase has now been in Aotearoa since 1981 so she has been home for a while. She has a wonderful husband, 4 adult children and 7 mokopuna who are great fun. She works as a primary care doctor specialising in adolescent/youth health at a one stop shop community youth health centre for 10-25 year olds, which she helped to set up, under a trust called Korowai Youth Well-being Trust. She is working with others to set up a Youth Hub of services, creativity and transition housing. She is a senior lecturer in adolescent health in the department of Paediatrics at the Christchurch School of Medicine, and she is an educator with the Collaborative Trust: a research and training centre for youth health and development. 

In this episode, we discuss her colorful journey into youth health, her passion for developing this area of medicine, building the next one-stop shop, how she earned her Order of Merit, the concept of consent in medicine, and much more.
