At the time of writing this article we can be fairly confident that we have left the worst of the pandemic behind us. However, the NHS now faces the challenge of tackling spiralling waiting times for elective surgery.

Furthermore, many intensive care units around the UK rely on the knowledge, skills and experience brought by our anaesthetic colleagues in order to provide high-quality, patient-focused care.
Consequently, anaesthetists will continue to hold a critical role in training the intensivists of the future.
