WELCOME

Dr Paddy, as his patients call him, is a Paediatric Urologist (a plumber) and a Paediatric General Surgeon offering CARE to children and families, and advice to adults, affected by congenital conditions, particularly those of the urinary tract and bowel. As this website develops you will be able to find medical advice for families, find how to access Paddy’s CARE, learn about his contribution to developing country pro bono surgery https://www.kindcutsforkids.net/, and explore his poetry, his art, his amateur wine making, and his passion for making healthCARE safer.

You will, also, be able to explore Dr Dewan’s background and read his research and his publications.

Paediatic Urology and Surgery conditions will be discussed in a Health Advice section of the new website. This section will include information about urinary tract infections, wetting in childhood, obstruction in the urinary tract and management of the foreskin and CARE of the constipated child, as just a few examples.

In the meantime, please contact Dr Paddy by phone or email – Phone +61 3 9364 2930 Email: paddydewan@gmail.com

SURGERY IN AUSTRALIA

Dr Paddy operates on a wide range of problems that require surgery for children that come within the specialties of General Surgery and Urology. Children are seen in the clinic for an assessment initially, and if the decision is made to undertake an operation, the details and process are fully explained. And families, are always welcome to seek the opinion of others. Operations such as hernia repair, circumcision, lumps and bumps, and surgery for undescended testicles are some of the procedures; but there are many more. Dr Dewan is also available to give a second opinion on the role of surgery in cases that may not involve himself as the surgeon.

All surgical procedures are billed at very reasonable rates. If Dr Paddy operates on your child, you will be given his mobile number, in the unlikely event you feel need to call.

HEIA (Healthcare Excellence Institute Australia)

Dr Dewan is putting CARE back into healthCARE: Since his early surgical career, he has advocated for a patient centric approach to healthCARE, while insisting that the workplace be safe for those providing care; particularly safe from bullying: While working in Dunedin, in the early 1980’s he was involved in a campaign for safe hours for residents, but with a focus on what is also safe for patients.

HEIA is latest of Paddy’s innovations to improve patient healthCARE, having previously been pivotally involved in National meetings on the theme of “legal argument is bad medicine: toward a new paradigm”. Paddy has made many submissions to both National and State parliaments and organisations, largely focused on outing administrative dysfunction, the bullying in healthcare and the need for regulatory reform.

Paddy’s vision is that HEIA will gather data to scope the current problem to inform advocacy for a safer healthCARE environment.
