About
Who we are
Strive Anaesthesia is a group of specialist anaesthetists providing anaesthetic services to the Perth community. Our doctors are committed to delivering high quality patient care – starting with preoperative assessment and optimisation, through to intraoperative and postoperative management.
As anaesthetists we have undergone over five years of vocational training and examinations in the medical field of anaesthesia in order to reach the high standard required to practice safely. This is in addition to over five years obtaining a medical degree and at least two years of hospital residency. The rigorous training program and a commitment to continuing medical education is the primary reason Australia is one of the safest places to undergo anaesthesia in the world. At Strive Anaesthesia – safety is our priority.
Our doctors are also involved in the development of anaesthesia and pain management beyond the operating theatre. Many are involved in medical education – at an undergraduate level as well as specialist training level. We have a commitment to and partnership with the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists. We have representation on anaesthesia-related committees in Western Australia, as well as doctors that hold long term positions at Perth tertiary teaching hospitals.
