Ross Boswell

My principal place of residence is in the Christchurch Central/Ōhoko Constituency area.

Since returning to Christchurch five years ago, I have enjoyed tramping and skiing in Canterbury and rekindled a deep appreciation of our natural environment. I am a committed advocate for, and user of, public transport. 

After schooling in Hamilton and university in Auckland, I moved to Christchurch 50 years ago to work as a junior doctor in Christchurch Hospital. I completed specialist training and a research degree, spent five years in the UK in research and university teaching, and was appointed as Professor of Pathology in the Christchurch School of Medicine. In 1996 I moved to Auckland and worked as Clinical Director at Middlemore Hospital until retirement. 

I have experience in governance as member and chairman of school boards of trustees at Kirkwood Intermediate and Christchurch Boys' High, as councillor of medical colleges, and as board member and chairman of the NZ Medical Association.
