Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Richard J Harvey, MD, PhD

Richard currently works as a dedicated rhinologist (nose, sinus, allergy and endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery) at Macquarie University and St Vincent’s Hospitals in Sydney.

As Editor-in-chief, Richard is keen to ensure that research efforts from both trainees and members in Australia contribute to our learning and scientific knowledge in an era when advancements are rapid, book knowledge is often insufficient or outdated and data should be available online in a media-rich experience.
