Anand Deva

In plain English

Professor Anand Deva is registered with AHPRA and is listed by the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons as a specialist plastic surgeon.

We found an exact name match on the national AHPRA register (the government register of health practitioners), registration number MED0001155660, in Miranda, NSW. The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons profile shows the same registration number. It states specialist registration in plastic surgery and FRACS (Plast), the surgical college fellowship in plastic surgery. Specialist status therefore comes from the society's profile cross-checked against the register's registration number, not from the register record itself.

We could not read the individual AHPRA record, so the specialty field and any conditions, undertakings or reprimands on the registration were not checked.

You can confirm the specialty and any conditions yourself by searching registration number MED0001155660 on the AHPRA public register at ahpra.gov.au.

The RACS, ASAPS and ISAPS directories could not be read, so fellowship and those memberships are not confirmed from their own records.

What this doesn't tell you

Registration confirms specialist training. It can't tell you how skilled a surgeon is, how often they perform your procedure, or what your results will be. Those are questions for your consultation. Registers change, so confirm anything important with the register before you decide.
