Anil thoroughly enjoys meeting and interacting with people. He is always keen to involve patients in their healthcare. He has focussed on Gynaecology for many years and sadly no longer undertakes maternity care. In his career, he has helped mums-to-be deliver over 5000 babies.
He has a keen interest in ethical practise and respect for patient's rights. He undertook a diploma in medical law at Cardiff University and is often asked to provide medico-legal opinions. He updates his practice and undertakes the Continuing Medical Education Programme (and certification) of the Royal ANZ College. He also gives postgraduate lectures to family doctors and nurses about Gynaecology and writes frequently for medical magazines and a research journal. Anil also enjoyed being the Women's Health Expert for TVNZ Good Morning and has written widely for a number of popular magazines.
Anil was honoured to be made a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (London) in 2008. This is conferred after sustained contributions to the vocation and the maintenance of high standards of practice.
He is married to a GP, Rachel and has three teenage daughters and a much-loved miniature Schnauzer Luis . His spare time is spent with the family and in the great NZ outdoors. He loves comedy, classic cars, modern design and architecture.
He is delighted that the practice is managed by Anne Whineray who is also a trained nurse and adept at all aspects of gynae health care management. We believe in kind empathic care. Anil's life experiences and training in medical practice have included Vascular Surgery, Urology, Renal medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Accident and Emergency, Elder Health, Orthopaedic Surgery, Psychiatry and of course the vast majority of it in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Anil has considerable surgical experience (30 years and counting) and performs a wide range of procedures having undertaken a traditional (and long) training programme in the UK (Leicester, Sheffield, Bath, Bristol, Poole, London, Taunton, Wrexham, Newport, Cardiff) and NZ (Wellington, Hamilton, Palmerston North).
