I have not suffered anything more than discomfort during the whole procedure. My belief is that Neil's surgery is so skilled that the knee area does not suffer severe trauma, and that this is coupled with your excellent understanding of the medication needed during the early post-operative period, and the ward staff's ability to communicate with me and manage the stronger pain killers, also I think I was lucky!

Excellent care whilst entirely professional. Also felt very personal and caring.
- Patient feedback
Kat works closely with Neil, assessing all her patients pre-operatively and will see people in person, if she feels this is necessary, before their surgery. It's important to Kat that her patients have a single ‘anaesthetic point of contact’ throughout their entire patient journey, including post-operatively. She is very much there for patients every step of the way.
The anaesthetic method chosen for each patient is individual and determined by the patient’s medical requirements, the operation they are having and their individual preferences. Where appropriate, patients will be given a nerve block to help with pain relief after their surgery; reducing the need for strong pain killers post-operatively.
A keen sportsperson, Kat is a qualified yacht skipper, enjoys skiing and water-skiing. She is a long-distance runner, completing the London Marathon in 2008 for charitable causes.
