Dr Charlotte Middleton
Graduating from Flinders Medical Centre (Adelaide) in 1997, I have enjoyed the last 13 years working mainly in Neonatal, Paediatric and Maternity Health in various hospitals around Australia. During that time I have been awarded a Diploma in Child Health and recently completed the Primary Course at the Australasian College of Nutritional and Enviromental Medicine - an area of medicine that is also of particular interest to me. A Diploma in Clinical Nutrition is next. My current job in a private hospital maternity unit, involves the resuscitation and examination of newborn infants, caring for sick and premature infants in the Special Care Nursery and being responsible for all post-natal mums and their babies on the Post-Natal Ward. A medical educator throughout my career, I have recently focused on educating medical and nursing staff on neonatal resuscitation and general paediatric matters, and creating the seven maternity educational DVDs featured on this website.
I have long had an interest in media work and have been lucky enough to pursue this passion with acting, voice over and TV presenting work, including numerous medical educational videos, corporate/promotional videos, corporate voice-over work and as an on-camera medical expert on Foxtel’s “The Little Things”. I was also lucky enough to have a starring role in a feature film “Guardian” released in Adelaide cinemas October 2002.
My current job, media background and recently becoming a mother, has led to my latest project which has involved scripting, presenting and voice-over work on a series of
maternity educational DVDs focusing on common post-natal issues. Already used with great success in all Ramsay Health Hospital Maternity Units and by parent educators Australia-wide, the DVDs are now also stocked in CAPERS and Birth International online bookstores and Kanopy Streaming and DVD webshops.
Next on the agenda is a move out into private general practice, where I hope to continue my work in Womens' and Childrens' Health, and practice Integrative Medicine (a combination of traditional and complementaty medicine) with a particular focus on nutritional and enviromental medicine. I will continue to expand this website (lots of ideas!) with further DVDs planned for the future. I hope you enjoy this website and the DVDs, as much as I enjoyed creating them!
