Dr Jessica Nash

Jessica is a respiratory and sleep physician with subspecialty expertise in lung cancer and nodule management. She obtained her medical degree from Monash University before undertaking her Basic Physician Training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Jessica completed her specialist training at Western Health and Austin Health, which provided broad exposure to the management of respiratory and sleep disorders, including airways disease, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, pulmonary embolism, and sleep disorders and conditions that cause breathing failure (ventilatory failure).

After obtaining her fellowship qualification, she relocated to Perth, where she undertook a PhD exploring patterns of lung cancer care. During this time, she worked across Sir Charles Gairdner and Fiona Stanley Hospitals. Having returned to Melbourne, Jessica holds appointments at Western Health and Northern Health, where her roles include clinical lead of a lung nodule service.

In addition to lung cancer and nodules, Jessica is interested in the management of airways disease and sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnoea. She strives to provide personalised, evidence-based care; communicate clearly and honestly; and ensure timely communication with referring colleagues.

Jessica is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP), and a member of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ), European Respiratory Society (ERS), International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer
(IASLC) and Thoracic Oncology Group of Australasia (TOGA).
