Dr Fergus Whitehead graduated in medicine from Flinders
University in 1988 and he became a Fellow of the Royal College of
Pathologists in 1994. He spent five-and-a-half years at the
Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science (IMVS) following
graduation and then spent two-and-a-half years at Clinpath
laboratories. During his stay at Clinpath, Dr Whitehead obtained
two postgraduate qualifications in cytopathology. In August 2002,
he joined Adelaide Pathology Partners as a partner, acquiring Dr
Jane Lomax Smith's share in the practice following her decision to
enter politics.
His interests also include all areas of anatomical pathology,
gynaecological pathology, dermatopathology, thoracic pathology,
gastrointestinal pathology and cytopathology.
Following on from the merger of Clinpath and Adelaide Pathology,
in November 2016 Dr Whitehead has taken on the role of Chief
Executive Officer.
