Jenny Westaway, Chair, PatientsVoices@RCoA tell us what we've been doing to attract people who might not usually think that ‘our club’ is for them.
He famously declared that he wouldn’t want to belong to a club that would have him as a member. We’ve been thinking about how we can attract people who might not usually think that ‘our club’ is for them.
The challenges we face in reaching a wide range of patients are common to the ones many of you experience when engaging with patients locally. Perhaps you were trying to audit or redesign services, or prepare or revise patient information. Some of the responses to these challenges are also common.
PatientsVoices@RCoA is a group of volunteers who help the College improve the delivery of safe, more effective, patient-centred care to enhance patients’ experience of anaesthesia and perioperative care.

Dear Editor
Drs Passi and Oliver state in their article that ‘in-vivo studies to quantify the reduction in serum progesterone concentration following sugammadex have not been performed…’. They are incorrect in this statement.
Devoy et al performed a prospective observational study comparing changes in serum oestrogen and progesterone in women undergoing surgery. 60 patients on hormonal contraception received sugammadex; 30 patients were not on hormonal contraception and did not receive sugammadex; 32 patients were not on hormonal contraception and did receive sugammadex. Blood samples pre, 15-minutes post, 240 min post sugammadex administration were taken to measure oestrogen and progesterone levels.
