DR SHIVONA MOODLEY

"My life and work philosophy comes from a strong sense of Kindness, Gratitude and Empathy. My interest in Oncology began during high school, where I would spend afternoons in the Oncology treatment room, with my grandmother who was receiving cancer treatment at the time. She is a cancer survivor and my source of inspiration. This personal experience allows me to connect with my patients, and their loved ones, with a deeper level of empathy whilst helping them through their cancer journey. It is a privilege for me to be part of my patient's story."

 

Dr Moodley completed her MBChB at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in 2007. Having served 2 years of internship at the R.K. Khan Hospital, she then moved to the Northern Cape. Dr Moodley completed her community service at the Kimberley Hospital Complex, where she spent a further ten months as a medical officer in Oncology. Dr Moodley started her specialisation at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital in November 2016 and has been admitted as a Fellow of the College of Radiation Oncologists in 2021; where she joined DMO in the same year.

 

Dr Moodley has recently completed a Master's Degree at the University of the Witwatersrand, with her research focused on Prostate Cancer. She presented a case on Ultra-Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), Breast Cancer Preceptorship in February 2021. Furthermore, Dr Moodley received certification through the University of Cape Town; in Palliative Care for the Oncologist in Africa, in July of 2021.
