About Me,

My name is Helen

I did my post-graduate training at Westmead Hospital, continuing specialist training in Anaesthesia at Westmead, Nepean and Westmead Childrens Hospitals, and was admitted to Fellowship of the Australian & New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in 2003.

I currently work as an Anaesthetist, predominantly in private practice in Sydney. I currently holds privileges in anaesthesia at Norwest Private Hospital, Prince of Wales Private Hospital, Castle Hill Hospital Westmead Private Hospital, Medica the Surgery Centre Hurstville and North Shore Private Hospital, and am also a Consultant Anaesthetist at The Bankstown Hospital in South West Sydney, a public teaching hospital of the University N.S.W.
