He is a proponent of international collaborative research and has published a book titled ‘Safer surgery for Africa: Challenges and Solutions’.

Fred has over four decades of anaesthesia and critical care experience, with a special interest in high-risk anaesthesia, a series of over 300 patients with pheochromocytoma, as well as numerous overseas volunteer missions. Aside from his routine academic duties, he has assisted in providing anaesthesia on numerous occasions to rare and exotic animal species at San Francisco and San Diego zoos.
  • Unique workshops that will satisfy ANZCA CME requirements and broaden your horizons – including a Thoracics workshop.
• Plus, our gala dinner at Hobbiton!
