Dr Peter Bristow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 6, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darling Downs Hospital and Health Board Chair Mike Horan announced yesterday that Toowoomba doctor Peter Bristow<\/strong> has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service.<\/p>\n

Mr Horan said the appointment followed a rigorous selection process and extensive advertising campaign for the role throughout Queensland.<\/p>\n

Dr Bristow had been acting in the role of CEO since July 2011 for the former Health Service District and has been guiding it through its recent changes.<\/p>\n

“Peter is completely committed to the role and I am keen to work with him in progressing healthcare throughout the region following the establishment of the Hospital and Health Boards by the Queensland Government,” Mr Horan said.<\/p>\n

“Peter has an extraordinary depth of knowledge of the local health system, and the tasks facing the Hospital and Health Service.”<\/p>\n

Dr Bristow trained as an intensive care physician and later worked at Liverpool Hospital in NSW and Alfred Hospital, Melbourne.<\/p>\n

In 2000, he commenced as Director Intensive Care at Toowoomba Hospital, working across both the public and private sector.<\/p>\n

He is also an Associate Professor at the University of Queensland.<\/p>\n

Dr Bristow became the Executive Director Medical Services for the then-Toowoomba Health Service District in 2004 and continued to work in Intensive Care.<\/p>\n

He subsequently became Executive Director at Toowoomba Hospital.<\/p>\n

Dr Bristow said he decided to take this opportunity to try to improve hospital and healthcare delivery.<\/p>\n

“It is a large area and there are numerous challenges in our current environment but I am looking forward to addressing these with the Board and the dedicated staff of the DDHHS. I am very appreciative of the trust that has been shown in me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
