Why "coordinated"? Most of us are looked after by more than one person — a GP, a specialist, an allied health professional, a psychologist. They rarely work from the same page, and the job of joining it all up quietly falls to the patient.

Coordinated Healthcare was built around a simple idea: care works better when it's connected. That principle runs through everything here — from one-to-one therapy to coordinating complex care to helping organisations build teams that actually work together.

Dr Frank Perri is a registered psychologist with over 20 years of clinical practice, having worked with thousands of clients across a wide range of conditions and circumstances.

He has worked with several medical and allied health clinics in running workshops to introduce interprofessional practice into clinics, helping to manage employee issues and developing better strategies to deal with patient difficulties and workflows.

He is also an academic and researcher. His PhD examined interprofessional practice in Australian primary healthcare clinics — how teams can collaborate more effectively in patient care. His research record is published and indexed, and he remains research-active.

Alongside his psychology work, Frank has a long association with the dermal sciences field, including:

• Honorary lifetime membership of the Australian Society of Dermal Clinicians

• Over a decade as Course Chair and Discipline Lead of dermal sciences at Victoria University

• Editorial board membership of the field's first dedicated journal for dermal clinicians

• Conference speaking across dermal and aesthetic medicine, digital health, and educational conferences

• Lifetime achievement awards — Australian Dermal Science Institute; Association of Professional Aestheticians of Australia
