Rate My Professor Maged William

Conjoint Associate Professor Maged William serves in the School of Medicine and Public Health within the College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He holds qualifications including PhD and FRACP. At Central Coast Local Health District, he has been a Staff Specialist since 2003 and Director of Cardiology since 2011, leading cardiology services at Gosford Hospital. As Head of Cardiology, he oversees the Cardiology Research Unit, established in 1990, which has conducted over 70 large international clinical trials and enrolled more than 3500 patients. His research activities focus on international clinical trials to develop new treatment strategies, enhance patient quality of life, and provide access to investigational drugs and therapies not yet available in Australia. William emphasizes the role of research in clinician training and patient care, stating that it offers better regimens for patients and is rewarding despite being challenging. He supports expanding the unit through a strategic research plan to increase patient access over the next three years. Recently, under his leadership, a cardiac electrophysiology service was launched at Gosford Hospital, benefiting hundreds of local patients annually by reducing travel to Sydney or Newcastle and planning expansions for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia treatments.
