He is a guest lecturer at Griffith University in Men’s Health Physiotherapy and has facilitated professional development courses for other health professionals.
The power of exercise and how it can improve recovery, symptoms and quality of life has always fascinated Tom, which has led him to complete a Graduate Diploma in Exercise Medicine – Oncology.
