Dr Fiona Chan

Neurologist; Specialising in Neuro-Ophthalmology and Neuro-Immunology
Dr Fiona Chan is a neurologist specialising in Neuro-Ophthalmology and Neuro-Immunology. She completed her neurology training in Australia before undertaking a Neuro-Ophthalmology fellowship in the United Kingdom. She was subsequently employed as a Neuro-Ophthalmology Consultant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham which functions as one of Europe’s largest Neuro-Ophthalmology departments.

In addition, she has subspecialty training in Neuro-Immunology and was the first Australian to be awarded a highly competitive clinical research scholarship by the European Committee for Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS). This scholarship enabled her clinical research at the University of Oxford, where she focused on advancing the management of patients at the Neuro-Ophthalmology and Neuro-Immunology interface.

Her academic work has resulted in multiple research article publications and speaking invitations in international conferences. She continues to be actively engaged in research and is currently undertaking a PhD in neuro-immunological conditions and their impact on the visual system.
