My work on this web site has been influenced by Dr. Richard Walker, Consultant Pain Physician in Coventry, UK. His web site does indeed come very close to my own vision of what I wanted to create for New Zealand. A visit to his site will provide you with a great insight into a UK version of Pain Medicine.
My vision of this web page is to grow into a web page similar to that of Kerry Brandis, Consultant Anaesthetist in Queensland, Australia who has been instrumental in providing examination information for anaesthetic registrars throughout Australasia.
Dr. Sarah Andreae-Jones has kindly given me the permission to use her astonishing work on Arachnoiditis to be used on my web page. I am indeed grateful since Sarah has put in a tremendous amount of work and I am honored to have worked along side of her in Plymouth, UK.
