Background

Dr. Michael Hicks (BMed(Dist) FANZCA) is a specialist anaesthetist and graduate of the University of Newcastle Medical School, with Distinction. Dr. Hicks was originally from Sydney but moved to the area to study and enjoyed it so much he has remained ever since. His initial postgraduate training was focused on critical care medicine, with terms in emergency medicine and anaesthesia. His vocational training in anaesthesia was also largely in the local area, mainly at John Hunter Hospital, with stints in Gosford and Maitland hospitals. During his time at John Hunter, he benefited from seeing the wide variety of presentations that the hospital receives. Almost all surgical sub specialities are represented, and the very busy emergency department affords valuable experience with managing major trauma.
