About

Dr Meera Tewani was appointed to Warwick Hospital in December 2009 after finishing her higher training in Anaesthetics and a Fellowship in Pain Management in the West Midlands. She trained in Pain Management as a Clinical Research Fellow in Birmingham Heartlands, Solihull, Good Hope and Russell Hall Hospitals, Marie Curie and St Giles Hospices. 

She worked in Warwick Hospital and did the bulk of the Chronic Pain Management work for five years. She audited her work regularly using the Pain Audit Collection System software and by conducting her own audits. The audit results showed a positive outcome in majority of the pain patients.

She moved to Heart of England NHS Trust in December 2014 as she was keen in developing the Pelvic Pain services. She works in the Pain service which covers a wide area in Birmingham and does specialist Pain Clinics for complicated skin conditions.

Dr Tewani is a Council Member of the British Association of Musculoskeletal Medicine and has taught in their road-shows. She runs a national level course on examination skills for the Pain Specialist.

She has a rich and varied experience in Anaesthetics of 22 years. As a trauma anaesthetist she has helped in improving the outcome of very sick patients needing urgent surgery.
