#WeAreNorthern

Meet Brian Liu, Pharmacist, Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Northern Health.

Q: First, let’s start with your coffee order?

A: Unfortunately, I don’t make the most of living in Melbourne when it comes to coffee as I don’t drink it. I will, however, order a matcha latte, milkshake or juice when I am out.

Q: Tell us about your journey at Northern Health?

A: I joined Northern Health in April 2021 to help build and design the EMR as a Medications Analyst. After supporting our Go-Live, I have continued to work closely with our Northern Health staff to maintain and further improve the workflows within the EMR.

Q: What’s the best thing about working at Northern Health?

A: It’s the people that I work with on a day-to-day basis that keeps me coming back, but I also enjoy the intellectual stimulation my role gives me as well as the freedom to be a little creative.

Q: If you weren’t in your current role, what would have been instead?

A: Since I love to travel and food, and in this age of social media, I would love to combine these two into a travel and food channel/handle on social, or maybe I could be an international food critic, travelling and tasting the food of the world.

Q: What’s your favourite book character and why?

A: I don’t think I have a favourite character, however, I am always fond of and drawn to strong, intellectual and independent female characters in stories. I do have “The Wheel of Time” series on my to read list and hopefully will love the character Moiraine Damodred in the pages of this epic series, as much as I enjoy watching Rosamund Pike’s portrayal of her in the Amazon Prime series.

Q: Sweet or savory?

A: Both? I’m your classic Gemini when it comes to being indecisive at times, and why not both, we all know there is a second stomach for dessert.
