about

Dr Sandie Staermose completed her undergraduate medical training at the University of Queensland, graduating with honours in 1999. Her interest in endocrinology was sparked as a medical student. She was employed at Mater Health Services, Brisbane, before heading to the United Kingdom to work for two years.

On her return to Brisbane, Dr Staermose worked at the Princess Alexandra and Mater Hospitals, completing her specialist training in the field of endocrinology. She commenced work as a consultant endocrinologist in private practice at the beginning of 2009.

Dr Staermose looks after patients with a range of endocrine conditions and is committed to providing up-to-date care. She is experienced in the management of insulin pump therapy in Type 1 Diabetes.

Outside of work, Dr Staermose likes to spend time with her family.

For Patients

Dr Staermose will need to review a referral from your GP (or other referring doctor) prior to an appointment being made. The referral will often have been sent directly to Dr Staermose by your GP. If you are unsure whether this has occurred, it may be worth checking with your GP practice, or forwarding the referral yourself.

If there is a change in your condition whilst awaiting your appointment with Dr Staermose, it is important that you see your referring doctor for review.

Please bring any relevant xray films and investigation results to your appointment. If you are unsure whether an investigation is relevant, please bring it along, as Dr Staermose is happy to go through your films/results to select those she needs.

For Doctors

Dr Staermose will need to review a referral before your patient is booked in, to ensure appropriate appointment allocation for urgent patients. If you are concerned that your patient’s condition has deteriorated whilst awaiting review, feel free to send an updated referral or contact Dr Staermose to discuss.

Please note that a suspected new diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes should be discussed directly with Dr Staermose (or an endocrinologist at your usual referring hospital), as hospital admission may be required for stabilisation.

Dr Staermose is able to see patients aged 14 years and over. Please note that some adolescent patients, particularly those with delayed puberty or growth disorders, may be better directed to a paediatric/adolescent endocrinologist.

Dr Staermose welcomes correspondence and referrals via Medical Objects.
