Anaesthetists

My regular anaesthetists are listed below. I have worked with all of them for many years. ENT surgery requires good teamwork between the surgeon and the anaesthetist as we are both working in the same area. Over the years my anaesthetists and I have developed an excellent working relationship.

 All of my anaesthetic colleagues have advanced ENT anaesthetic skills  and extensive experience with both adults and children.
