Francisco is a United Kingdom-trained ENT surgeon with special interests in head & neck cancer surgery, sleep surgery and rhinology.
After graduating medical school, he obtained a Masters in Human Anatomy from the University of Edinburgh, with a particular focus on nasal and sinus anatomy. He then went on to ENT training and was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Following this, he completed a prestigious fellowship in head & neck cancer surgery at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, treating a wide range of cancers as well as benign conditions. He stayed on at the Royal Melbourne as a consultant surgeon, as well as becoming part of a busy private practice with a focus on sleep surgery. However, the call of home was strong, and he has returned to Midlands to continue his practice.
Dr Francisco starts on 12 February at Orange Brand Circle Hospital.
