What kind of doctor is Dr Flanagan?

Dr Grant Flanagan is an Australian-trained Consultant Physician and Nephrologist.

​

Physicians are highly trained in a range of non-surgical care for adult patients. They care for difficult, serious, or unusual medical problems and continue to see the patient until these problems have resolved or stabilised. Physicians are specialists in the effects of medications, including their side effects and how they interact with other medicines.
 

While much of this work takes place in hospital settings, Dr Flanagan also sees patients at in-room consultations. Dr Flanagan is frequently asked by surgeons to see patients for assessment, prior to surgery. In this capacity, he advises surgeons of patients’ risk statuses and recommends appropriate management to minimise risks of the operation. Dr Flanagan also assists with postoperative care and ongoing medical problems or complications.
