Mr William 'Bill' Fleming

Overview

I am an Endocrine Surgeon at Epworth Freemasons Hospital, Western Health (Footscray) and Austin Health (Heidelberg), specialising in endocrine surgery, particularly in minimally invasive thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery. I am the Head of the Western Health Endocrine Surgery Unit, based at Footscray.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in England (FRCS), and a Full Member of Australian & New Zealand Endocrine Surgeons (AES).

I trained in Melbourne at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, qualifying in 1982 and gaining the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 1991. From 1992-1995 I obtained postgraduate work in London and Cambridge, before returning to Austin Health as a consultant surgeon. I spent another 4 years from 2004-2008 as a consultant endocrine surgeon at the Hammersmith Hospital in London, the largest endocrine surgery unit in the UK. From 2008 to the present I have worked at both Austin and Western Health, and I am the Head of Endocrine Surgery at Western Health in Footscray.
