Multidisciplinary Practice Post Pandemic 

Dr Bryce Conrad and Dr Angus Steventon

Bryce Conrad and Angus Steventon will cover working in a multidisciplinary practice and how to work with other health professionals and how these environments have changed expectations of chiropractors since the pandemic.  They are two of the most experienced and accomplished chiropractors working and managing a large multidisciplinary practice.  

Bryce Conrad is a third generation chiropractor and a graduate of the Class of 2002 having previously studied in Canada.  He found early on that the standard approach in the Australian health system involved extreme fragmentation with a lack of integration and communication between different disciplines. Chiropractic was somewhere out on the fringe, and so Dr. Conrad became involved in leadership in the Chiropractors Association with the goal to change these views and connect health care disciplines together for the benefit of patients.  Bryce could not imagine the journey that would take place over the next 17 years. From a small single practitioner clinic in Gosford in 2005 to now having 3 multidisciplinary clinics with over 35 clinicians and support staff.  Bryce and his team have worked with almost every type of health professional and understand many of the challenges outside the Chiropractic world. 

Angus Steventon is a member of the Class of 1999 moved to the Central Coast of NSW to join friend Dr Bryce Conrad as they pursued setting up Chiropractic in a multi-disciplinary medical setting.  Eventually a $7 million dollar GP SuperClinic was built in West Gosford featuring GPs, Medical Imaging, Specialists, Chiropractors, Exercise Physiologists, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists, Psychologists Dietitians, Podiatrists and Acupuncture and many other disciplines.    Angus works with Bryce to run a team of 35 professionals and staff in their Allied Health section.  Dr Steventon has a keen interest in integrated multidisciplinary patient-centred care. He has observed it done well and done poorly. He has observed the phenomenal benefits for patients of this model of care and is passionate about helping others to understand the practical principles that underpin how Chiropractors can work in such a setting.
