Anaesthetists at the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust have been awarded the prestigious Anaesthesia Clinical Services Accreditation.
Beano superfan, Edward Shepherd, (aged 11) tells us all about his online survey: ‘Helping children prepare for surgery and anaesthesia’.
I am a huge fan of the Beano and sent feedback to the Royal College of Anaesthetists about a special collaborative edition I had read, Dennis has an anaesthetic. My Granny was in hospital at the time, and I was worried about her. She had broken her ankle. I read the Beano comic to help me understand and feel better about her being unwell and having an operation.
Children’s anxiety related to hospital admissions and procedures is a huge problem and affects up to 80% of children. 75% experience anxiety in the anaesthetic room, and 60% develop ‘new’ dysfunctional behaviour in the three weeks after surgery. Sadly, 12% still display this new behaviour one year after surgery. In the US, surveys show that 25% of children are held down for a general anaesthetic.
Dennis has an anaesthetic teaches children about:
- finding out about the operation
- getting ready for the operation
- having the anaesthetic and operation
- waking up and going home.
They're the fresh faces of anaesthesia and the future of our specialty - we introduce you to some of our newest anaesthetists in training
They're the fresh faces of anaesthesia and the future of our specialty.
We introduce you to some of our newest anaesthetists in training. We hope all of them and the rest of our trainees have very long, rewarding, and fulfilling careers as anaesthetists.
The Royal College of Anaesthetists is pleased to resume three awards in conjunction with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN).
