Let’s consider some real patients who were invited to prehabilitation (‘prehab’) clinic for colorectal cancer surgery (names anonymised).
Authors:
- Dr Gemma Summons, Perioperative Medicine Fellow/SpR Anaesthetics, University College London Hospital
- Professor Tarannum Rampal, Consultant Anaesthetist and Lead, Perioperative Prehabilitation Unit, Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH), King’s College London NHS Foundation Trust
- Ms Shana Hall, Specialist Physiotherapist, Cancer Rehabilitation, Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH), King’s College London NHS Foundation Trust
John is a retired white British man, who drove to clinic and has a good rapport with his doctor. He feels motivated by the exercise classes at his private gym and tracks his progress using prehab apps and his FitBit. His wife (who does all the cooking) finds the dietary advice helpful because it gives healthy alternatives for traditional British food that they eat.
Winnie is from Barbados. She had to get the bus to clinic (and now she’s late for her shift). She’s offered exercise sessions, if they can fit around work, but the bus links are awful. The dietary information is unhelpful as she can’t get the ingredients from Brixton Market and her budget is tight. She doesn’t have the time to learn lots of new recipes.
Response to the report from the Joint Committee on the Draft Health Service Safety Investigations Bill.

Implementing a Structured Local Teaching Programme to Improve Anaesthetic Training: Lessons from St George’s Hospital
Dr Ramai Santhirapala, Editor of the Bulletin, welcomes you to spring's Bulletin – the issue led by anaesthetists in training for those in training and trainers.
As the season of spring gently unfolds while I write this here in London, there is a sense of renewed fervour for times to come. I have the pleasure of celebrating two ‘New Years’ annually, a uniqueness which I have always appreciated for one reason – however the Gregorian new year starts, I have another to bring optimism, since once again find myself looking ahead to Tamil New Year on 14 April – Puthandu Vazthukal to all those celebrating this.
New chapters of professional life transitioning from one season to another is the subject of an article by Dr Lauren Elliott and Dr Nipun Agarwal, who eloquently detail the range of experiences that come towards the end of training – the consideration of location, colleagues and job plans blends excitement with an understandable anxiety. For those wanting to understand more about navigating this juncture in a career in anaesthesia, I wholeheartedly recommend the College’s Preparing for CCT and beyond podcast series as a supplement to the piece in this edition of the Bulletin.
