Professor Egerton-Warburton is also a member of the Commonwealth Governments, Australian National Advisory Council on Alcohol and other Drugs.
As a supporter of #foamED, Professor Egerton-Warburton uses social media as an education and advocacy tool. She believes in pragmatic patient-centred research that passes the ‘so what’ test.
Much of her research is aimed at reducing low value care and practicing the art of deliberate clinical inertia. She is passionate about highlighting the health impacts of climate change and working on a policy and advocacy level to address this. She believes innovation is key to create sustainable change in the health care system and society.
