Palliative Care doctor - Tamworth Hospital
Professional Bio
Phil Hungerford has been a FACEM for 34years.
For nearly all that time he has worked at the Tamworth Hospital in regional NSW.
He has worked in the Emergency department, Intensive Care Unit, and retrieval medicine and in the last few years in palliative care medicine.
Phil found that the end-of-life conversations that he had with patients and their families in the ED and ICU were a good training ground for the world of palliative care medicine.
In 2024 Phil was a member of the NSW Ministry of Health’s voluntary assisted dying board.
Phil is married to Michelle and they have 4 beautiful children and 5 beautiful grandchildren.
Phil is now nearly/almost/quasi/semi/kinda/sorta retired and he and Michelle have an on and off again plan to move to the Blue Mountains.
