Research

Ben Gray joined the Department in 2006 as a senior lecturer in General Practice. He is an Otago graduate from the first class at the Wellington Clinical School. He has worked as a GP for more than 30 years first in Waitara Taranaki and most recently at Newtown Union Health Service (NUHS). Waitara had a significant Māori population and NUHS has a very diverse population with significant numbers of refugees from many parts of the world. The practice has developed significant strengths in long term condition management, cross cultural care and interprofessional practice. He completed a Masters in Bioethics and Health Law May 2014 with a dissertation titled “How does the concept of cultural competence affect the practice of bioethics and health law”. He is active in the Australasian Association of Bioethics and Health Law and convened the AABHL conference in Wellington in 2015 “Working with Diversity”.
