President's view: Spring 2024

Dr Fiona Donald, President of the Royal College of Anaesthetists tells us our future is bright but that we need to play our part by supporting our anaesthetists in training.

Anaesthetists in training, whatever route they are taking, are the future of our specialty. This is a guiding principle of the College and it cuts across all aspects of our work.

I have always been incredibly impressed by the professionalism, compassion, skill and knowledge of the anaesthetists in training I work with and, as a prospective service user, I can see that the future is bright but that we need to play our part by supporting you to realise that promise.

I hear many positive things from anaesthetists in training, ranging from what you love about the job, to your well-deserved pride in your achievements and your commitment to supporting your patients and colleagues. But I also hear the negative aspects. I hear you when you tell me about training interrupted by the pandemic and the unaddressed trauma from that time. Or how your life and career have been impacted by frequent rotations, exam pressures or difficulty securing a higher training place.

What does South Asian Heritage Month mean to you?
