After graduating from Otago University in 2014, Dr. William Parkyn worked for three years in the hospital and then became a rural GP where he oversaw a wide range of patients.

Most recently, Dr. Parkyn was the Clinical Director of a large Urgent Care Centre and General Practice specialising in caring for the most vulnerable.

As a GP specialist, Dr. Parkyn is interested in patient-centred, patient-led, medicine. Having witnessed amazing transformations in his patients using medicinal cannabis, he has decided to follow this passion to enable more to utilise the unique healing properties this ancient plant can offer.

Outside of medicine, he loves the outdoors, gardening, listening to music and experiencing life with his wife and five kids.
