Patient information
Most of us will need the care of an anaesthetist at some stage in our lives. And one in five of us is living with chronic pain. Australia and New Zealand are two of the safest countries in the world to have surgery under anaesthesia, and patients have access to some of the most advanced pain medicine.
This information has been produced by specialist doctors and reviewed by patient representatives and experts in different areas of anaesthesia and pain medicine.
