Geer Hubregtse

I qualified from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 1990, after which time I worked at the South African Institute for Aviation Medicine. This placement involved managing medical evaluations for commercial and military aviation medical problems, performing aircraft accident investigations and aeromedical transport.

I moved to the UK and followed the South West anaesthetic training programme, also spending a year in Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, to develop a special interest in paediatric anaesthesia. My rotation placements included Musgrove Park; during my time here I realised it was a special place, and was delighted to then obtain a consultant appointment at the hospital in 2001.

In addition to being a consultant anaesthetist, I am currently the Clinical Director of Head and Neck / Specialist Surgery at Musgrove Park Hospital.
