Biography of Dr Gordon Jackson Rees
Dr Alison Pittard, OBE: "The end of my tenure brings an opportunity to reflect on the last three years. COVID-19 has dominated and it is easy to focus on the negatives, but, as an eternal optimist, I see many positives. I had three objectives when I became dean, the first of which was to promote our specialty."
COVID-19 has dominated and it is easy to focus on the negatives, but, as an eternal optimist, I see many positives. I had three objectives when I became dean, the first of which was to promote our specialty.
I think everyone now knows what we do and, as a result, we have increased training numbers, expanded capacity, and embedded enhanced care. My second objective was to develop international partnerships. Despite travel being restricted, embracing digital platforms afforded us the opportunity to work with the College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand and the Apollo group in India.

Jono Brüün, our CEO reflects on the challenges and changes he's faced in the four years since joining the College and celebrates all our achievements.
New Year is always a time of reflection, particularly as for me it is also the anniversary of my joining as CEO at the College. That is now four years ago, and I find myself looking back on the challenges the College has faced over that time, the changes that have been made and the achievements of our volunteers, elected leaders and staff team.
It has been a remarkable four years. Within a couple of months of my appointment COVID-19 hit. The challenges for our membership were enormous. The specialty was at the frontline, and anaesthetists and intensivists had to learn and adapt at pace to provide the best possible care for the patients who were most seriously ill under very challenging circumstances. The College too had to urgently adapt.
Exams, which had always been held in person, were rapidly moved to virtual platforms. It was a steep learning curve for so many of us and it didn’t all go as smoothly as we wanted, due in large part to the pressures put on so many by the pandemic. Nevertheless, I was proud of the College, its examiners and the exams team, who, along with candidates, contributed fully to the subsequent independent review of our assessment process. The review was published earlier this year. Lessons were learnt and changes have been made that have seen us continue to welcome almost 5,000 candidates per year to the College for their exams.
