Dr. Samantha Banks
Truro I have been a consultant Anaesthetist at RCHT for the past 14 years with a specialist interest in Obstetric anaesthesia. I have always been interested in Obstetric Anaesthesia so was very fortunate to do a 2 year fellowship at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth Western Australia working under Professor Mike Paech. This included a year of clinical research where I participated in and completed several research projects which were accepted for publication in peer reviewed journals. At RCHT we have approximately 4500 births per year so run a busy delivery service sometimes having to deal with high risk births on parturients that do not want to leave the county for tertiary referral centres. |
