Personal Statement

As a consultant anaesthetist, my primary goal is to provide the most evidence based, safe and considered care to my patients by adopting a patient-centered approach. I strive to deliver high-quality healthcare that is tailored to meet an individual patients needs on their unique surgical pathway. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills and acquired extensive knowledge in the field of anaesthesia, general and intensive care medicine specialising in preoperative assessment, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and high-risk surgeries.

Ultimately, my purpose as a consultant anaesthetist is to get my patients fully prepared for surgery, promote their safety during anaesthesia and deliver optimal pain relief and post-operative recovery. It is a privilege to be entrusted with your anaesthetic care before, during and after surgery.

Outside of medicine Dr. Griffiths is a keen golfer and gardener. Music has always been a key component of his personal and professional life, and has managed to build and maintain a DJing profile notably as the support to the Rock Cover Band Mo’Mojo and the charity events that they have put on. Recent gigs have raised money for numerous worthy charities including Help for Heroes, Prostate Cancer UK, Tommys, Tuberose Sclerosis Association and Sobell House Hospice.

All interests are undertaken under the watchful eye of the Griffiths family bulldog - Betsy.
