Jill Moxey

RN

Jill is also Newcastle born and bred but has been travelling since she got the bug and went on a cruise at 21.

She has completed the College of Nursing training in immunisation and is an authorised nurse provider for immunisation in NSW. She has a background in accident and emergency, intensive care, and recovery nursing in NSW, Queensland, and the United Kingdom.

Although having travelled in USA, UK, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East she is rather fond of Asia. She is able to counsel travellers on common travel health issues and is familiar with the range of travel health medications and products that CHROMIS stocks.

Dr Puru Sagar

MB BS(NSW)

Puru should have been born in a caravan as he has never stopped travelling since. He has lived and worked in Africa, Asia and Europe. He hopes a vaccine for the actual travelling bug is never invented. He brings his vast travel experiences and knowledge of medicine to the clinic as a member of the Chromis Travel Med Staff.
