About Shelley Thomson.
With more than 30 years of health industry and clinical experience, Shelley is a patient experience advisor, author of Patients for Life and accomplished expert keynote speaker and panellist.
Shelley's healthcare journey began as a nuclear medicine technologist at Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1986, before she branched into ultrasound, working both in a clinical setting and then in a commercial one - in clinical applications, business development and leadership roles with ATL, Philips Healthcare and Sonosite point of care ultrasound.
Following stints in retail, where she estalished her own gourmet food business and then later helped retail organisations transform their customer experience through her Retail 360 consulting business, Shelley founded healthcare consulting business Experience 360 in 2017 to bring together her passions for healthcare and customer experience and work with healthcare businesses to help guide them on their journey to a patient partnership and outcomes based model of care.
Building on these foundations, she then joined forces with two of her sisters, Dana Ronan and Jill Holmes, who also shared a passion for customer experience, to establish Patient Experience Agency in 2022 to provide practice owners, managers and healthcare professional with simple and accessible learning resources which support their shift to better patient experiences.

Jo Saccasan, Finance & Business Manager
Karinya House for Mothers & Babies
"Shelley worked with us to develop and co-design an important project which detailed the patient journey our women experience as they rebuild their lives from homelessness to independence. This was an extensive piece of work, including co-design workshops, in-depth discussions, journey mapping and identifying outcomes with several women whom Karinya House support. Entrusting this sensitive work to Shelley was reflective of her integrity and experience. She demonstrated a deep and respectful understanding of the trauma histories of the women we walk alongside. This project has been instrumental in supporting the adoption of an outcomes-based approach in our organisation, the renewal of key funding contracts, the development and successful funding of a new project and continued work on developing Karinya House's Impact Framework. We can not thank Shelley enough for her insight and assistance."
