Anaesthesia Explained 2015
The updated patient information leaflet Anaesthesia Explained is now available to view and download.
This leaflet is for adults who are expecting to have an anaesthetic. It offers some information about anaesthesia and suggests how and where you can find out more.
The College is happy to provide one free copy of this leaflet – please contact us directly by emailing comms@rcoa.ac.uk.
You can view a more interactive version of this leaflet here which is best viewed via a desktop computer, rather than a smart phone or tablet.
