Bio

DR PETER BAQUIE, OAM

 

Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre announces the retirement from medical practice of a great servant and friend to those in the sporting and sports medicine fraternity. The OPSMC family particularly wishes to thank Peter and welcomes him to continue the relationship through mentoring and teaching to share his wealth of experience and wisdom.

 

For those unaware Peter’s early medical career was in Gippsland as a GP in a region that has formed a long association with OPSMC. He was an early graduate of the new specialty of sports medicine through the Australian College of Sports Physicians which he achieved working at OPSMC and has continued to contribute to the development of many future sports physicians (including this author) to this day, and hopefully beyond.

 

Peter’s contributions extended beyond the clinic through contributions to local and national sporting teams such as youth Australian basketball teams, the Australian Kookaburras hockey team (gold in Athens 2004), Melbourne Storm, Hawthorn (premiership 2008), Collingwood and North Melbourne football teams.

 

Perhaps the best recognition came in both his appointments as Chief Medical Officer of the Australian Olympic Team for Beijing 2008 and London 2012. In 2021 he was acknowledged with a Medal in The Order of Australia for services to sports medicine.

 

It must be recognized that Peter never stopped caring for his clinic patients first and foremost, many who have known him for years and followed him from Foster. Some who he even delivered as babies have brought their children to OPSMC to see him.

 

His legacy continues through his daughter, with Laura consulting at OPSMC as part of the Physiotherapy team.

 

Thank you Peter, best wishes and thank you to your family for letting us share him for so long.

 

Dr Andrew Jowett, on behalf of OPSMC.
