Dr Michael Park MBChB, MRCP, FCICM

Intensivist, Hawke's Bay Hospital, Hastings, NZ

Michael completed his undergraduate training in Aberdeen (UK) at end of the last millennium, then moved on to Bart’s and The London to train in General Medicine. He completed MRCP and moved to the Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand for 6 months in 2003. Indecisiveness between Cardiology, Renal or Endocrine speciality training led to a period in Intensive Care.  He was led astray by Bennett, Ward & Freebairn. Then turned to the dark side by joining CICM. His advanced training was completed in Auckland.   

Michael moved back to the Hawke’s Bay in 2010 and became Head of Department in 2012.  His interests include mechanical ventilation, critical care ultrasonography, quantitative acid-base analysis and Goals of Care.  His work commitments have cured an oenophilic obsession resulting in a rather large wine collection.
