Author Information

Richard Davey was born in 1945 in Victoria, Australia, where he has since been domiciled. At several Australian universities he studied in turn philosophy, history, theology, biological science, medicine and clinical epidemiology, all to post graduate level and has worked for some fifty-five years, the greater part thereof as a physician, specialising finally in Chemical Pathology and working therein at the Royal Melbourne Hospital until 2008’s end when he then refocused in half-time, FIFO, clinical consulting in the NT’s outback, working within Aboriginal health services whilst also contributing to the practice of pathology in that specific remote context; he retired at 2021’s end. Hospital work also led him into the RAAF’s Specialist Reserve as a Medical Officer; he retired in 2010 having reached the rank of Wing Commander. He was ordained priest in the Australian Anglican church by Archbishop Sir Frank Woods on Whitsunday, 1971. Woods supported his clinical redirection and in 1974 he withdrew from the stipendiary ministry and proceeded to study medicine. He remained a non-stipendiary cleric. Philosophy, faith and clinical work have all remained a delightful blend for Richard with research and writing perhaps see-able as culminating in his leading the drafting of the IFCC, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine’s current Code of Ethics, it approved by the IFCC Executive Board, 28 July 2021, the last year in which he sat as a member of the IFCC’s Ethics Taskforce.
