Dr David Belavy
If you are scheduled for surgery and Dr Belavy is your anaesthetist, please see the Before surgery page. Read the Profile for information about Dr Belavy’s training and experience.
Dr Belavy completed medical school at the University of Queensland in 1999 and began working in anaesthesia in 2004. During training, he gained experience in all areas of anaesthesia but had additional focused training in obstetric and paediatric anaesthesia.

In 2011, Dr Belavy took a one-year sabbatical to work at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, UK to gain additional experience in anaesthesia for heart and lung surgery. This is the largest cardiothoracic centre in the United Kingdom and consistently delivers the best results for heart surgery.
Dr Belavy’s research interests concentrate on the use of information technology in the perioperative period to improve outcomes and he is a senior lecturer with the University of Queensland.
He lives in Brisbane with his wife and two children.
