Dr Paul Frank completed his internship at Nambour General Hospital in 1995 following graduation from the University of Queensland. He then spent some time in rural hospital / GP work in North Queensland where he developed an interest in both critical care and the holistic care of patients in a primary care setting. This led to him pursuing dual fellowships in anesthesia and pain medicine that were awarded in early 2005. Dr Frank has a particular interest in ultrasound guided procedures for both pain management procedures and anaesthetics. His anaesthetic practice is primarily orthopaedic where ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks can contribute to optimal perioperative pain management in addition to enhancing the anaesthetic for the procedure.
