Professor Johan Rosman

Professor Johan Rosman is a Specialist Nephrologist. He is originally from Groningen, The Netherlands, where he completed his medical training and specialised in internal medicine. He undertook his nephrology training in Heidelberg, Germany (Prof Ritz), after which he held hospital/academic positions in Switzerland (Basle, Berne and Lausanne). In 2002 Dr Rosman moved to Auckland, New Zealand to work as a senior nephrologist at Auckland Hospital and Auckland University.

He relocated to Perth in 2012 to take up a position as a nephrologist at Royal Perth Hospital, and also took on a role at the University of Western Australia. He has since kept his position at RPH, but moved over to Curtin Medical School in December 2017 as a Foundation Professor of Medicine. A completely new Medical School was set up.

He has a substantial private practice, which is popular with kidney and hypertension patients because he gives them all the time they need to get their questions ansdwered. He also seed dialysis and transplanted patients there.

Dr Rosman also has an excellent track record of publishing his research in peer-reviewed journals, and has won numerous awards for both his research and clinical work over the years. He is passionate about communication between General Practice and secondary/tertiary care; something that is standard practice in the countries where he trained, but he finds lacking in Australia. He loves taking calls from GP's for advice, as he believes that good healthcare can only be delivered through close interaction.

He has two ciinics: in Nedlands and in Canning Vale. Although the Nedlands clinic is close to the centre of the city, the Canning Vale clinic has the advantage of parking right in front of the door (free) whereas parking in Nedlands can be more complex in busy hours.
