My name is Dr Justin Reed and I will be your anaesthetist for your up coming procedure.

Professional History
I am a specialist Anaesthetist who has been working as a Consultant in Sydney for 25 years. After graduating from Sydney University, I completed my specialty training at St Vincent's Hospital in 1995.

My wife is from Manchester and together we have three children, including a twin boy and girl – although there is only a 14-month age gap between the three, so it has often felt like triplets.

Outside of medicine I am a keen photographer and sports fan. With two brothers-in-law, living in Manchester and having season tickets at Old Trafford and the Etihad, I was lucky enough to be regularly entertained in corporate lounges watching Manchester United and Manchester City play.

Being a proud United fan, means this last decade has been particularly grim – but surely this new manager David Moyes, Ryan Giggs, Louis Van Gaal, Jose, Ole Gunnar, Ralph Rangnick, Eric Ten Haag, Ruud Van Nistelroy, -- Ruben Amorin, will make a difference!!!!
