Why Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU Are the Perfect Trio
Think of Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU as the ultimate tag team in medicine, a seamless patient journey from pre op to post op and beyond. For doctors, it is not just a career pathway; it is a front row seat to the full spectrum of critical care.
Synergistic Patient Journey
Continuity of Care: Major surgery often flows naturally into ICU for close monitoring and recovery.
Essential Skills Development: Airway management, teamwork and human factors are skills that transfer across medicine.
Real Time Learning: See physiology and pharmacology play out in front of your eyes.
Exposure and Excitement
High-stakes cases keep you sharp and engaged.
ICU and Anaesthesia mean constant work with complex patients and advanced treatments.
There is both adrenaline and satisfaction in helping patients through their most critical moments.
Career Attractiveness
Breadth of Knowledge: Anaesthetists gain knowledge at the intersection of medicine and surgery.
Varied Opportunities: Foundation year doctors often love these areas for the skills and career doors they open.
Operational Interdependence: ICUs and theatres are the true engine rooms of modern hospitals, full of specialised kit and expertise.
Bottom line: Surgery, Anaesthesia and ICU are like the Avengers of medicine. Each strong alone, unstoppable together.
Recent Success Story: Building Critical Care Connections
During my time in New Zealand, I helped many doctors relocate from around the world and embark on new adventures. From the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South, I placed all surgical specialties; many of whom are still making a difference to New Zealanders every day.
