Dr Hamish Mace is an Anaesthetist based in Mosman Park, WA. You can find the practice at 7 Stuart Street, Mosman Park WA 6012. Anaesthesia is a big part of surgery, and Dr Mace focuses on keeping patients safe and comfortable before, during, and after procedures.
As an anaesthetist, Dr Mace helps with administering anaesthesia for a wide range of surgeries. That can mean anything from routine day procedures to more involved operations. On the day, the work is very hands-on. It starts with checking how you’re feeling and making sure you’re well prepared for the anaesthetic plan. Then it continues during the procedure with careful monitoring.
Monitoring is a key part of the job. During surgery, vital signs need close attention, and Dr Mace is there to watch how the body is coping. At times, this also involves adjusting the anaesthetic and pain relief so the experience is as smooth as possible. The goal is not just to get you through the surgery, but to help you feel okay afterwards too.
Pain management is another important focus. Many people worry about discomfort after an operation, and in many cases a good pain plan makes a big difference to recovery. Dr Mace works on balancing comfort with safety, so patients can rest and heal. If you’ve had pain issues with previous procedures, that history can be useful, and Dr Mace takes the time to consider it as part of planning.
Day-to-day, anaesthesia also means paying attention to how you feel right before and after surgery. Some people feel nervous, and that’s normal. Dr Mace looks after patient comfort by explaining what’s happening in plain language and keeping communication steady around the procedure. After surgery, the work continues with follow-up checks and support, especially in the first hours when you’re coming around and getting settled.
Dr Mace’s training is in anaesthesia and perioperative care, covering the skills needed to deliver safe anaesthesia and manage monitoring and pain relief. While there isn’t specific information listed here about research or clinical trials, the core focus stays the same: careful care, close monitoring, and helping patients feel as comfortable as possible through the whole surgical journey.
