Barwon Health has hired a controversial cardiothoracic surgeon, whose performance three other doctors reported concerns about. Dr Michael Byrom started working at Barwon Health on Monday. An Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency spokeswoman said conditions were placed on Dr Byrom’s registration by the Medical Council of NSW in May 2020 and removed in September 2021. Dr Byrom, who says allegations against him were unfounded, worked at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.
