25.01.2022 A great combined meeting with talks collaborating on experiences in adult and paediatric surgeries and health economics/patient care.

24.01.2022 A big THANK YOU to the RNC staff for getting through a massive scoliosis month in November. All of you are always a pleasure to work with. Thank you to the PICU/APS and J1/J2 staff. The patients are also extremely grateful for your care and attention. I hope you all have a merry Christmas and looking forward to doing it all again next year.

24.01.2022 EUROSPINE 2018. Some interesting concepts developing.

18.01.2022 Dr Simon Abson is now also consulting at the Maitland Private Hospital for any spine related conditions. Please contact your GP for a referral and call 02 4040 1139 for an appointment.

18.01.2022 Thank you to Prof Lazennec for a great day in theatres doing lumbar and cervical disc replacement surgery.

17.01.2022 New government regulations regarding private health fund tier classification has been released. This is a great step in simplifying the often confusing levels of cover patients may have and hence avoid disappointment when looking for private health specialist or in fact saving costs for unnecessary items. Please read the attached.

17.01.2022 Due to the evolving nature of COVID 19 and NSW Health directives there will be changes to Dr Absons Clinics and operating schedule.

15.01.2022 I’m very grateful to be the first in Newcastle to have the privilege to trial one of the latest low radiation navigation systems for spine surgery. Thanks once more to the staff behind the scenes for making it happen.

11.01.2022 Great two days planned observing spine surgeons at their peak. Learning new approaches and techniques.

07.01.2022 The Australian government has quite rightly postponed category 2 and 3 elective surgeries until the COVID 19 pandemic is under control. This is an effort to conserve important resources required to save lives. Please see the categories as per New South Wales bureau of Health for a clear understanding.

04.01.2022 Spine Society Australia annual convention. Some great talks and catching up with fellow colleagues and their practice.

02.01.2022 Magnetically assisted growing rods for early onset scoliosis. The first in Newcastle. Well done to the ultrasound team for a radiation free successful expansion.
