More than one in five of the non-trainee anaesthetic workforce are SAS doctors, yet the grade is still sometimes misunderstood.

The College is keen for SAS doctors to get the recognition and support they deserve. As SAS Wellbeing lead, I started an initiative last year to spotlight the achievements of our SAS members by asking them to share their stories with us for publication on the College website and social media. Our aim was to enhance people’s understanding of the huge range of skills, experience and responsibilities of SAS doctors, to boost pride in being an SAS doctor, and to improve wellbeing.
