Dr Sarah Green is an anaesthetist in Sydney in mixed public and private practice. She represents the perioperative allergy service at Royal North Shore Hospital, with which she’s been closely involved since 2012. “The work interest that gets me out of bed every day is patient care and interaction; people vary so much, so it’s never dull to me. Outside of work I love visual arts, live music and theatre consumed with friends, family and good food.”
Dr. Ghislaine Isabwe (Montreal, QC)
Dr. Isabwe is Assistant Professor of Medicine at McGill University, Division of Allergy and Clinical immunology, Department of Medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal.

Her main clinical and research interests are to understand the mechanisms of drug allergies, predisposing factors, tools used for investigation, methods of safe re-exposure and the impact of drug testing on quality of life.
