BRAD DIXON

One bonus of speaking events that I’ll never take for granted: it’s not only getting to share my holistic health tips on strength work & positive relationships— it’s the people you meet along the way.

I had the privilege of sharing the stage with two incredible clinicians:

Dr John Cullen

- A true pioneer in joint innovation in New Zealand, including being at the forefront of the country’s first total knee arthroplasty
- Helped introduce early total joint surgeries across the country, with pioneering work in elbow, shoulder, and ankle replacements
- Double Olympian 1960/64 Hockey.
- An extraordinary surgical legacy: 3,000+ total hip replacements and 2,000+ total knee replacements before retiring from active surgery in 2013

Dr. Deirdre Seoighe

- Graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (Honours, 2003)
- Completed a research masters in surgery, helped establish Ireland’s first graduate-entry medical programme.
- Completed specialist registrar training in plastic surgery and achieved fellowship exams in plastic & reconstructive surgery (2015)
- Undertook a burns surgery fellowship at Middlemore Hospital, and is now Clinical Lead for Burns Surgery covering a huge region from Taranaki to Gisborne, while also operating regularly at the National Burns Unit
- Somehow does all of that while being a busy mum of four! Inspiring.

Grateful for the conversations, the shared values, and the reminder that when you step up to speak, you don’t just exchange information — you build community.

Thanks Tamahere Country Club for organising and having us.
