Neuroanaesthesia Provisional Fellow
The Westmead neuroanaesthesia fellowship offers the selected provisional fellow the opportunity to develop and finesse their clinical skills in this exciting field. There are daily neurosurgical lists across both public and private campuses which provide access to a complex and challenging case mix. It includes:
- Neurovascular interventions (open and endovascular)
- Awake craniotomies for deep brain stimulation
- Neuro-oncological treatment
- Simple and complex spine surgery including minimally invasive and robotic techniques
- Traumatic brain and spine injury treatment
- Neuroanaesthesia in the comorbid patient population
You will work with a friendly and dynamic group of anaesthetists, with keen interests in education, research, and professional development, as well as expert and friendly neurosurgical, neuro-interventional and neurology specialists and their teams.
Our Westmead Neuroanaesthesia Special Interest Group also includes anaesthetists trained in intraoperative neuromonitoring. Fellows will have the opportunity to learn about the various modalities and their increasing applications. There is also the potential for partial or full scholarships for select successful applicants to undertake the Professional Certificate in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring offered online by the University of Sydney.
Non-clinically, fellows may choose to participate in audits and research in the neuroanaesthetic field or beyond. Alternatively, they may want to get involved in the many teaching activities available within our department.
This is a stimulating and evolving fellowship at Westmead which affords the fellow the flexibility to customise the year according to their priorities. At the conclusion of the clinical year, the fellow will graduate with the subspeciality expertise necessary for a successful consultant career in neuroanaesthesia.
