Dr Richardson graduated MBBS from Sydney University in 1978 and undertook surgical training at Westmead Hospital from 1980 to 1986. In 1986 he was an assistant in surgery at Lille University, France, with Professor Charles Proye, in endocrine surgery, and in 1987 he was an assistant in surgery at Hospital Cochin, Paris, France dealing mainly with vascular surgery, endocrine surgery and liver transplantation. From 1988 to 1990 he was lecturer in surgery at Oxford University, mainly in vascular surgery and transplant surgery.
Dr Richardson’s specialty interests relate to the management of patients with liver and pancreatic tumours and, in particular, the multi-disciplinary management of colorectal liver metastases. He treats both benign and malignant tumours of the stomach and oesophagus as well as the adrenal gland.
He also has a specialist interest in gallbladder surgery and the management of gallstones as well as hernia repairs, varicose vein surgery and the treatment of hyperhidrosis. He also has expertise in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumours - these tumours are quite rare and are managed by a small number of surgeons in Sydney.
Dr Richardson’s research interests relate mainly to the treatment of hepato-biliary and upper gastro-intestinal malignancy, but he also has a longstanding interest in quality and safety in surgery as well as the management of acute general surgical problems. Dr Richardson is the author or co-author of approximately 50 peer-reviewed articles and reviews articles for a number of journals.
