Dr Navid Amirabadi
MD, FRACGP, FFPMANZCA, FAChPM, FIPP
Dr Navid Amirabadi has completed three specialist trainings in Rural General Practice, Palliative Medicine and Pain Medicine and also completed a fellowship in Interventional Pain Practice across several hospitals in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. He is currently a visiting specialist in pain medicine and palliative medicine at multiple hospitals across Queensland and New South Wales including St Stephen’s Hospital. He’s been a medical educator and medical speaker since 2008, running several courses and speaking in many medical events all around Australia as well as being actively involved in training junior doctors.
He strongly believes that each patient is unique and therefore it’s critical to attentively listen to the patient simply because the patient often gives better clues than anyone else as what the problem is. He is an advocate for using a collaborative multidisciplinary approach via physical and psychological education and empowering, medication optimisation, interventional techniques including but not limited to diagnostic blocks, radiofrequency treatments and spinal cord and peripheral stimulators and targeted delivery instruments to improve the quality of life of his patients.
Being a keen aviator, he tries to combine his hobby as a pilot and his profession as doctor and to fly to rural and regional areas from time to time and offer his skills and abilities as a specialist to minimise his patients’ sufferings and help them to have the quality of life they deserve, keeping this old saying in mind that “Though pain might be inevitable in life, suffering is optional”.
