From the Editor: Spring 2025

From the Editor: October 2022

Welcome to the autumn edition of the Bulletin. As I write this, there is a sombre atmosphere as the funeral arrangements for Queen Elizabeth II proceed, and I want to take the opportunity to pay my respect to her and to her devotion to duty in this editorial. Although it was not unexpected, I was surprised how deeply her death affected me – I felt keenly what a historic moment the death of the longest-serving monarch in British history, and the second-longest in world history, was.

This is also my last editorial as editor of the Bulletin as I take on the vice-president’s robe and hand the Bulletin role to one of my colleagues. It has been a pleasure, and I have very much enjoyed the challenge of curating, commissioning, and advising our authors. I am so proud of the achievement as we head towards a much better digital version of the Bulletin, and I particularly want to thank the publishing co-ordinators, Anamika and Mandie, for the support, encouragement, chasing and cajoling they have done. Without them the Bulletin would be a shadow of what it is.

From the Editor: April 2023

Dr Ramai Santhirapala, Editor of the Bulletin, welcomes you to April 2023's anaesthetist in training (AiT) issue of the Bulletin and looks at why this year's theme 'Adapting to change' is very apt in these uncertain times.

Welcome to the April 2023 anaesthetist in training (AiT) edition of the Bulletin. As I write this, NHS doctors in training are imminently embarking on industrial action following an unequivocal ballot; unprecedented since 2016. Whatever your opinion on industrial action, the common thread is that these are intense times for those of us within the NHS. It is often these times, however uncertain and unsettling, that further solidarity for the betterment of care for patients and each other. The conversations I have had with anaesthetists across the UK bring forth this sentiment; we are in this together.

‘Adapting to change’ is the theme for this edition of the Bulletin. No better place to start than to introduce our new anaesthetist in training members of the Bulletin’s editorial board, Dr Lauren Elliott and Dr Nipun Agarwal, who have been an absolute joy to work with for this issue.
