For the past 10 years he has been working in a large public hospital in their Hospital in the Home program as a consultant. In that role he developed a particular interest in complex wound management, receiving funding to commence a clinical project in which he was the principal investigator of a randomised control trial for a wound healing device. Developing a clinical experiment from scratch provided a good understanding of the ethics approval process for a clinical trial. In addition he sat on the low risk ethics committee for the last 2 years reviewing other proposals for clinical studies as well as working for a pharmaceutical company in their pharmacovigilance section monitoring adverse events for clinical trials.
Dr Syme Resigned from Monash Health October 2021 due to state government mandates, suspended by Ahpra / Medical board in February under immediate suspension powers due to their concern that I was a risk to the public for giving medical exemptions to patients who did not consent to having the experimental gene therapy injection. This followed a complaint by a 3rd party who felt my exemption letter conveyed anti-vax sentiments.
