Chatting in a pub in York in 2019, Simon Davies, David Yates and Gerard Danjoux were reflecting on their academic careers to date. The three colleagues from York and South Tees Hospitals had worked together successfully since 2012, securing prestigious grant funding and delivering high-quality academic studies. Yet something was missing – strategy and infrastructure to create a sustainable programme of work and develop the researchers of the future.
As the evening progressed, more and more ideas were generated in direct correlation to the consumption of the excellent York ales!! Before the end of the evening, an idea was hatched, and the colleagues would form a new collaboration with an academic partner: the North Yorkshire Academic Alliance of Perioperative Medicine.
