Paula Sabino achieved her medical degree in 1990. Qualifying as a consultant general surgeon in 1999, she worked, since 2000, as Consultant General Surgeon at the Caldas da Rainha Hospital in Portugal.
She took an active role in launching the surgical day care unit at the Caldas da Rainha hospital and treated surgical patients through the Portuguese National Health Service. With a personal interest in emergency and trauma care she also developed specialised procedures in emergency surgery.
Moving to the UK in 2012 she took a role at the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, before joining the Practice Plus Group team as a Consultant General Surgeon.
“I developed a groin hernia in June 2022 wich caused a considerable amount of discomfort, the NHS waiting time for a repair was up to 18 months so decided to go as a fee paying patient. Practice Plus Group Hospital, Plymouth did not do general surgery so advised me to attend Practice Plus Group Hospital, Emerson’s Green, Bristol. I then met consultant surgeon Paula Sabino Dos Santos who immediately put me at ease and spoke in the language I understood and was very thorough I was very confident and happy with her particularly as she was happy to perform the surgery herself, on the day of surgery I met Paula to make sure I was ok and happy to go ahead so went for surgery and all seemed to go well, came round in recovery and was greeted with a very attentive Nurse Urszula who was wonderful and did not seem to leave my side until discharge overall the whole nursing team were wonderful, I would have no hesitation in returning or recommending the services, and a special thanks to Paula and Urszula.”
