Dr Jeremy Bartlett
Dr Jeremy Bartlett has been a specialist in orthopaedic Brisbane since 1991. He is an experienced joint arthroplasty surgeon, specialising in hip and knee replacement procedures. He also has an interest in adolescent and children’s orthopaedics.
He is a member of the Australian Orthopaedic Association and Australian Medical Association. He also has lectured for the University of Queensland’s School of Human Movement Studies, the Australian Orthopaedic Association, and the Paediatric Society of Queensland.
He is also a leader in the field of drug product design, working on a revolutionary new technology for oral multiparticulate drugs. The innovation involves tiny spheres that are coated with a taste-neutral barrier membrane. These spheres can be placed in the mouth to deliver a medication without irritating the taste buds of children or adults. This new technology is a big step forward in medicine and is expected to improve patient outcomes. Moreover, it could help save the lives of patients who are allergic to traditional medications.
