Dr Fiona Long graduated from the University of New South Wales with honours in 1994. She then went on to complete her internship and residency at the St George and Sutherland Hospitals. After a brief career in Sports Medicine, she decided to dedicate herself to General Practice. She undertook a Diploma in General Practice at Monash University before completing her Fellowship in General Practice in 2000. She spent over twenty years in General Practice, with areas of interest including women’s health, paediatrics, adolescent health and sports medicine. During this time, she also developed her skills as a mentor and supervisor, teaching both medical students and GP Registrars.
It was her particular interest in women’s health that led Fiona to join the team of Breast Physicians at Sydney Breast Clinic in 2019, as she wanted to hone her skills in a more specialised area, vital to women’s health. At both the Breast Care Centre, and SBC, she works as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive care, consulting patients about all aspects of breast medicine, undertaking risk assessment in patients with increased risk factors for breast cancer, and providing comprehensive advice and management plans for the full spectrum of breast conditions.
At Sydney Breast Clinic she also performs a range of biopsy procedures (both ultrasound and mammogram- guided) as part of the diagnostic work-up in patients with a breast lesion,
She has now left General Practice entirely to focus her practice in Breast Medicine. She successfully completed the Lactation Consultant examination in 2023, and is now an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She is also currently undertaking additional studies to complete all the requirements to become a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Breast Physicians.
In addition to her work at The Breast Care Centre, Fiona also assists in breast surgery at St Vincent’s Private, and consults at Sydney Breast Clinic, and Integrated Specialist Healthcare in Miranda, where she provides breast health checks, breast implant checks, and assesses patients with any breast symptoms or concerns.
