Chapter 8: Guidelines for the Provision of Regional Anaesthesia Services 2025

Every anaesthesia department should have sufficient anaesthetists with expertise in regional anaesthesia to provide a timely regional anaesthesia service. When this is not possible, a consultant anaesthetist with expertise in regional anaesthesia should be identified daily to support other anaesthetists with regional anaesthesia procedures

Anaesthetic Wellbeing Network

Dr James Wicker updates us on AWN's important work, which involves members sharing ideas and supporting each other.

The Anaesthetic Workforce: UK State of the Nation Report 2024 was a sobering reminder of the challenging working environment we find ourselves in. An Anaesthetic Wellbeing Network was born two years before that, meeting online for the first time in February 2022. 

It was an attempt to share ideas on how to improve the working conditions of healthcare providers within a network of anaesthetists and clinicians with an interest in this field from the Kent, Surrey and Sussex/London region. The group has proved to be very successful, and has grown, with colleagues from around the country joining virtually, every few months.

So, what have we achieved as a group and what do we hope to do next?

The first step towards a career as an anaesthetist is medical school. Undergraduate medical training mostly lasts for five years and medical students normally graduate with a bachelors degree. This page contains information on the undergraduate stages of training in anaesthesia up until becoming a consultant.
