Dr Batstone’s research has been published in prestigious medical journals numerous times, but for him, recognition and accolades are the least important part of his work.
“I have always like asking questions and trying to work out if what we do for our patients is evidence based and effective,” he said.
“I try to keep an open mind, rather than having a preconceived idea of what the outcome is or should be, and then I’m guided by what we find.”
“My favourite part of being involved in research is seeing projects I’m involved in change the way I and others practice surgery and care for patients.”

Game One of the men's series is set to kick off at 8:05pm this evening here in Cane toad country.
Phil from the Fire Safety Advisory Unit at TPCH was asked about his team's chances this year.
"Bleed Blue, New South Wales by three!"
Staunch Queensland supporter Tracy, representing the finance department at RBWH, had a different opinion.
"I know the maths," she said, "nothing else to say but QUEENSLANDER!"
Regardless of the outcome at the game tonight, there will be maroon and blue chants throughout the streets as we celebrate this great rivalry.

"Openly showing our support for the LGBTQIA+ community is vital.
