Dr Gary Fetke - AMPS Medico Legal Summit 2022

Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and vocal proponent of nutrition being a major component of prevention and management of modern disease.

In 2014, he became targeted by the processed food industry for his opinion on the perils of excessive sugar consumption, culminating in a ‘silencing’ by the AHPRA Medical Board after 3 notifications. He was publicly slandered with a factually incorrect AHPRA media release.

After presenting to Senate Inquiries into the failing of the AHPRA process, review by the National Ombudsman, 2018 saw a clearance of those charges with an apology from the board.

He continues to lecture on the vested interests shaping dietary guidelines and particularly those around the anti red meat agenda. He remains supporting Health Care Professionals on an almost weekly basis that are caught in the AHPRA process.
