Since then, he has worked both as a staff specialist at the RBWH, as well as in private practice. His practice includes a wide range of Anaesthesia for most surgical specialties including neurosurgery, opthalmology, gastroenterology, upper gastro-intestinal surgery, obstetrics and orthopaedics.

Dr Fung is a firm believer in patient centred healthcare and aims to ensure that everyone who comes under his care is informed and consulted throughout the pre-operative and post-operative experience to provide an individualised, tailored approach to his practice.

Dr Fung is involved in education in anaesthesia not only for medical students and trainees, but has also presented and facilitated at workshops aimed at promoting and improving skills and abilities in ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia to fellow specialist anaesthetists.
