I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care that extends far beyond the operating theatre. My practice combines a specialist focus on Personalised Anaesthesia for complex surgery with a commitment to Prehabilitation—optimising patient health before surgery to ensure a swifter, safer recovery.
With a clinical background rooted in high-stakes neuro-surgical and interventional environments, I provide precision-focused anaesthetic management tailored to the unique physiological needs of each patient. My approach is built on the foundation of modern perioperative medicine: focusing on pre-surgical optimisation and rapid recovery.
Beyond clinical practice, I utilise my expertise in medical devices and healthcare systems to drive broader improvements in patient safety and operational efficiency, ensuring that every patient benefits from a streamlined, world-class surgical experience.
Focused on physiological stability, precision, and rapid recovery.
I actively partner with surgical colleagues who are committed to clinical excellence and theatre efficiency. I have a particular interest in implementing ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols.
By focusing on advanced analgesia, physiological stability, and early mobilization, I help surgical teams achieve:
Partners in Your Recovery
The period before your surgery is just as important as the procedure itself. By working together to optimize your health, we can ensure the best possible outcome and a smoother transition back to your daily life.
Every patient's journey is unique, but our structured approach ensures you are supported at every stage:
The assessment is a vital safety step. It allows us to identify any underlying health issues, optimize existing conditions (such as blood pressure or anaemia), and create a personalized plan that minimizes surgical risk.
We will review your full medical history, current medications, and any previous experiences with anaesthesia. Depending on the complexity of your surgery, we may also perform blood tests, an ECG (heart tracing), a physical examination focusing on your heart, lungs, and airway, and a discussion about your specific anaesthetic options and pain management plan.
Think of prehabilitation as training for surgery. It may involve simple lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, or specific exercises. The goal is to improve your physiological reserve so your body can handle the stress of surgery and heal more effectively.
Yes. I will meet with you before your procedure to review your assessment, answer any last-minute questions, and discuss the final anaesthetic plan. My priority is to ensure you feel informed and comfortable before we enter the operating theatre.
We recommend the following resources from the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) to help you prepare for your upcoming procedure.
A clear, introductory guide covering the different types of anaesthesia, who will look after you, and what happens in the recovery room.
A more in-depth look at the entire surgical process, from your first pre-op assessment to managing pain after you go home.
An essential resource for optimizing your health. This toolkit provides actionable advice on how small changes to your activity and nutrition can significantly improve your recovery speed.
A practical "to-do" list to help you organize your medications, household, and transport before your hospital date.
Detailed information regarding the common side effects and rare risks of anaesthesia, helping you make an informed decision about your care.
A helpful visual guide that puts the risks of anaesthesia into perspective by comparing them to everyday activities.
