Rate My Professor John Woodfield

His research focuses on measuring and preventing surgical complications, improving preoperative fitness through high-intensity interval training, colorectal surgery including low anterior resection syndrome, clinical audit via Otago Clinical Audit, eHealth for patient support in enhanced recovery programs, bowel preparation protocols, loop ileostomy outcomes, and medical challenges in resource-poor settings such as trauma, tuberculosis, and infertility in rural Africa. He contributes to international networks including STRATA, DISCO, and LARS International. Key publications include 'Integration of a patient-orientated eHealth intervention in the setting of an established enhanced recovery after surgery program' (mHealth, 2026), 'Adult caecal intussusception: Diagnosis and management' (ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2025), 'The impact of metachronous colorectal neoplasia requiring intervention following index polypectomy' (ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2025), 'Association of Preoperative High-Intensity Interval Training With Fitness and Clinical Outcomes' (JAMA Network Open, 2023), 'Strategies for Antibiotic Administration for Bowel Preparation' (JAMA Surgery, 2021), and 'Patient reporting of complications after surgery: an international patient survey' (BMJ Open, 2019). His scholarship advances surgical outcomes and patient-centered care.
