Dr Rothwell is an Australian medical graduate having attained my medical degree from the University of Newcastle (BMed) in 1993.
After his Intern and Residency years he commenced training to become a Specialist Anaesthetist which saw Jonathon gain a wealth of knowledge and experience. During his years of specialist training he spent time in all areas of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care which included time with the Retrieval Service on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Dr Rothwell became a Specialist Anaesthetist after more than 13 years of training in total. He currently provides Anaesthesia at all the Private hospitals across the Hunter Region and Gosford Private Hospital. He also has a Public VMO appointment at John Hunter Hospital where he has worked as a Specialist for over 15 years, mainly doing Trauma and Emergency cases. Jonathon is highly trained in all his interest areas which include Anaesthesia in Orthopaedics, General surgery, Dental Surgery, Obstetrics/ Gynecology, Cosmetic plastic surgery, Obesity/Upper GI surgery and Trauma Surgery.
Dr Rothwell is an examiner for the Final (exit) exams for the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA). He enjoys helping, guiding and teaching upcoming trainee specialists in all scenarios they may be faced with as a specialist.
Jonathon performs over 1000 anaesthetics per year and keeps up to date by complying with the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Continuing Professional Development program.
The wealth of experience derived from the complexity of patients treated whilst working at large tertiary hospitals has shaped Dr Rothwell’s current practice and continues to contribute to his ongoing professional development in his chosen Specialty of Anaesthesia.
Dr Rothwell’s primary aim during your surgery or procedure is to provide you with the best possible care. This involves many things including a thorough assessment of your health and advice on which type of anaesthetic is going to be the most suitable for your surgery.
