Professional Profile
Dr Mackay is a highly experienced and well-regarded surgeon who specialises in surgery of the hand – both elective hand conditions and trauma, reconstructive microsurgery and revision of post-traumatic deformity, and skin cancer.
His undergraduate study was at the University of Queensland, where he completed degrees in Science and then in Medicine and Surgery. Following graduation, he undertook an internship in basic surgical training at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Dr Mackay then undertook advanced surgical training in general surgery prior to his selection for specialist training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Upon completion, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
A fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery at the Royal Adelaide Hospital followed and during this time, Dr Mackay worked alongside senior surgeons to gain the broadest possible exposure to advanced surgical techniques. His fellowship involved large volumes of hand trauma and complex microsurgical reconstructions.
Dr Mackay remains committed to education and training, regularly teaching junior doctors and registrars. He is a current Board member of the Australian Hand Surgery Society, a current member of the Queensland Society of Hand Surgeons and a former Council member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
In addition, Dr Mackay is regularly involved in the multidisciplinary management of complex problems in association with hand therapists and surgeons from other specialities such as orthopaedics. He is also a consultant at the Royal Brisbane Hospital hand clinic.
