Leigh Sheppard, from ED Registrar to GP Registrar. Leigh speaks openly in what I would label a vulnerable, brave conversation. Sharing personal information and speaking transparently about OCD, a disorder for which she strongly advocates. Leigh is driven in her pursuits to make a positive change in her area of healthcare interest. Leigh will be participating in the International OCD Foundation conference in San Francisco next month. With foundations underway, during our conversation you will hear first hand the project Leigh is working on which is said to change the community and most importantly, people’s lives.

If you would like to hear more about Leigh’s project or join the peer support network as a person living with OCD, support someone with OCD or are a clinician interested in getting involved, please contact Leigh via leigh.sheppard@outlook.com
