Dr Barker was the anaesthetist for my intradural tumour excision on February 25, 2022. He was extraordinary on multiple counts, in the run up to surgery and in the aftermath of surgery. In what was quite a daunting situation (awaiting a major surgery, alone, due to Covid restrictions), he blended empathy, communication, attention to detail, experience, and skill to ensure I went into surgery reassured and calm. In the immediate aftermath of surgery, I would often awake to find Dr Barker having popped in to just check how I was doing and to ask after my family. Not for one moment did he convey anything other than attention to excellence, 100% focus on the patient, and extraordinary empathy.
