About Fiona

Dr Fiona Turnbull serves as Director of the New Zealand Child and Youth Epidemiology Service (NZCYES) and Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health within the Dunedin School of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Otago. She holds the qualifications MBChB, PhD, and FAFPHM. In her leadership role, Dr Turnbull oversees the production of annual reports that monitor health and well-being indicators for tamariki and rangitahi across Aotearoa New Zealand, utilizing national administrative data sources. Established in 2004 and hosted by the University of Otago since 2009, the NZCYES is funded by Te Whatu Ora and the Paediatric Society of New Zealand. These reports highlight key areas such as mental health, oral health, unintentional injuries, neurodevelopmental conditions, and intentional injuries, identifying disparities and inequities to inform health policy development and clinical practice.
