Dr Rosemary Hall, Department of Medicine, Our people, University of Otago, Wellington

MBChB FRACP PhD
Senior Lecturer

Dr Rosemary Hall is an Endocrinologist working in general endocrinology and diabetes at Capital and Coast District Health, where she leads the diabetes in pregnancy clinical service for the Wellington Region.

Her PhD, completed in Cambridge, UK, examined the association between dietary protein, energy regulation and metabolic disease. This research used a variety of techniques to measure energy intake, energy expenditure, body composition and metabolic parameters, including highly controlled physiological studies performed in a whole body calorimeter.

She received an HRC feasibility grant (HRC15/513) to investigate long term outcomes of women from the DIP clinic.
