Dr David Woods graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery as part of the inaugural intake of students into the post graduate medical program at the University of Notre Dame Sydney in 2011. He completed his intern and residency years within the local Hunter New England Health District before completing his additional training in Anaesthesia and General practice.
Since 2015 Dr David Woods has been a dedicated rural general practitioner in private clinical practice and the entirety of his career to date has been spent within the Hunter Valley.
Dr Woods holds additional visiting rights at Singleton district hospital, Muswellbrook district hospital and Scott memorial hospital in Scone. He has been a visiting medical officer in emergency medicine, internal medicine and anaesthesia since 2015. In these roles he provides clinical care to patients requiring emergency care, inpatient hospital treatment and elective or emergency anaesthesia for a wide range of surgical procedures.
Dr David Woods enjoys the vast scope of clinical practice in providing comprehensive medical care to all members of the family. He particularly enjoys the interface that rural general practice provides between outpatient clinic-based care and escalating that to local hospital-based care when required. This holistic approach of his medical practice ensures an appropriate level of care is always available to the patient.
Perioperative medicine is also of particular relevance to Dr Woods and he takes great pride in ensuring pre operative optimization, the delivery of safe anaesthesia and appropriate post operative care are afforded to all patients he encounters in this clinical context.
David is settled in the Hunter Valley with his young family and is kept busy following his children as they chase their sporting pursuits.
