About Sangeeta Resch

---

I am a consultant anaesthetist, having completed my specialist training with The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) in 2012.  I currently work in both the public and private health sectors in Newcastle, NSW.  

I graduated from medical school at The University of Melbourne in 1999.  I traveled to the UK straight after and worked as an intern and senior house officer in the NHS for a couple of years.  When I returned to Australia, I took up a training position in Hobart, Tasmania in Emergency Medicine.

I had many wonderful, rich learning experiences during my time in Emergency Medicine.  However, I arrived at a few sliding door moments and had a later career change to Anaesthetics.

I completed my Anaesthetics training between Hobart, Auckland and Melbourne.  My first consultant job was with the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Dubbo, NSW, where I was able to combine my interests in both Emergency Medicine and Anaesthetics.

We moved our little family to the Hunter New England region in 2014.  Since then I have worked in a Staff Specialist capacity, initially at The Maitland Hospital and then at The John Hunter Hospital.  I still get to combine Emergency Medicine and Anaesthesia in my day to day practice in a busy tertiary level teaching hospital.  My areas of special interest include emergency and general surgery, ENT and Head and Neck surgery. I also find looking after children and their families in the perioperative period very satisfying and rewarding.

I enjoy teaching, supervising and supporting junior staff in the workplace. I also enjoy supporting my colleagues and peers, which I do as a qualified Professional Development Coach (see below!)
