76 | Dr. Kathryn Hagen on feedback, private practice & anaesthetics

Doctor NOS

Dr. Kathryn Hagen is a specialist anaesthetist in Auckland City Hospital looking after the adult population. She is the immediate past president of the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists and took on the deputy service clinical director role in 2020. She is passionate about encouraging people to consider how they can be part of finding solutions and solving problems.
In this episode, we discuss her journey into anaesthetics, receiving critical feedback and how to respond to it, delivering feedback to others and unpack private practice - how it works, why it works, the pay difference, motivations, and its associated work-life balance.
