After graduating from the University of New South Wales in 1991 I spent four years working as a hospital doctor around the Sydney area and gained a wide range of experience in a number of specialties. I then travelled to the United Kingdom for five years and joined the Specialist Anaesthetist Training scheme, working initially in the South of England and later in Cambridge. Whilst in Cambridge I completed a Masters degree in the user interface aspects of anaesthesia monitors. Returning to Australia in 2001, I spent a further four years completing the specialist examinations and training required to practice as an anaesthetist in Australia.
Over the last decade I have focussed on providing anaesthetic services for a skilled group of surgeons in the specialties of plastic and reconstructive surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatric and ear, nose and throat surgery. I have found over the years that people often don’t realise that the anaesthetist looking after them in a hospital is a specialist doctor who has spent many years training and maintaining their skills and knowledge. Another common misconception is that the anaesthetist is only present for a few minutes at the start of their operation. One of the more rewarding aspects of my job is being able to talk to people before their surgery when they are often feeling nervous and vulnerable, and give them the reassurance that they will be cared for by a skilled and dedicated specialist from the start of their surgery until they are safely awake in the recovery room.
