About
Grant came to Canopy Imaging from working fulltime in musculoskeletal medicine for 18 years where he was involved with pain assessment and treatment utilising a biopsychosocial approach. He now concentrates on providing ultrasound and CT guided procedures. He is also a Clinical Senior Lecturer for the University of Otago and coordinates and teaches two campus-based papers in Christchurch each year, and is involved with teaching through the New Zealand College of Musculoskeletal Medicine as well as within the Northland region.
Outside of work, Grant does voluntary work within the small community where he lives, and if time permits, he enjoys boating and scuba diving particularly at the local Poor Knights islands.
