Oral history, Associate Professor Ross KerridgeAssociate Professor Ross Kerridge is an anaesthetist with a long-standing interest in how hospitals work. Throughout his career he has sought to improve patient care at a systems level, pioneering changes to emergency response teams and patient admission processes which were pivotal in the development of perioperative medicine as a discipline. While his revolutionary work began in New South Wales, Ross has travelled extensively, presenting papers, disseminating ideas, and contributing to the development of perioperative systems and organisations around the world. Due to his early involvement in retrieval medicine, he gained unique insight into how hospitals work when he sustained life threatening injuries after a devastating fall from a helicopter. This experience, and his visits to more than 150 hospitals internationally, have made him a passionate advocate for good patient care and for other healthcare professionals. Ross has spent most of his career in Newcastle, NSW, a city he supports so passionately that he is currently serving as the Lord Mayor of Newcastle.
