Dr Francis Babatola
Pain Management Consultant
BSc (Hons), MBBS, PhD (Wales), Dip. Anaesth, FRCA (UK), FFPMRCA
My major interest lies in management of chronic pain whether malignant or non-malignant. I consult at Spire Little Aston Hospital on chronic pain syndromes and also carry out pain management procedures.
I have a further interest in neuropathic pain, nasal resistance to airflow and sympathetic maintained pain.
I started my training overseas (in Nigeria) and continued in the UK, first at the Cardiff group of hospitals in Wales, then the Royal Postgraduate Medical School at the Hammersmith in London and then at the Birmingham Group of Hospitals. I hold a PhD degree from the University of Wales.
I have also published some academic papers on the resistance of the nasal passage and has been cited in major ENT textbooks.
