 t thousands of patients to sleep’\, carefully monitoring their heart\, l
 ung and brain functions. His longstanding interest in neurobiology since M

 n New Zealand. He was awarded his Medical Doctorate upon return to his alm
 a mater in Lübeck\, Germany\, before moving to work for NHS England where
  he has trained and worked as anaesthesiologist and perioperative physicia
 n for the last 25 years\, enriched by a six months clinical research Fello
 wship in Jena\, Germany along the way. He routinely employs biofeedback\, 
 deep breathing\, dreamscape\, ‘hypnotic conversation’ and sedation tec
 hniques in conjunction with electroencephalography (EEG) to manage periope
 rative anxiety\, cardiovascular\, respiratory and metabolic problems and h
 elp his patients find the right sleep.‘in somno securitas’ - safety in
  sleep - is the motto of the Association of Anaesthetists for good reason.
