Nic
works as a consultant at Middlemore Hospital splitting his time between
Intensive Care and Anaesthesia. He has an academic interest in the strategies
and approach to adult medical education, especially developing how to develop
skills for use when rare or unexpected situations develop. Nic has also spoken
about the psychosocial challenges facing medicine especially related to the
changing demands and needs placed on specialists as they move through their
careers.
Being
an ANZCA (Pt 1) examiner has facilitated significant basic science up skilling,
and he sits as the Treasurer of ANZICS (NZ).
Born
in the Deep South Nic is frequently found in shorts and sandals whilst playing
guitar in the humid north, where he is supported by his wonderfully tolerant
wife, Kim. His son Addy is far better on the guitar, and this is a large source
of frustration.
