Chapter 1: Guidelines for the Provision of Anaesthesia Services: The Good Department 2025

Introduction

The Guidelines for the Provision of Anaesthetic Services (GPAS) supports the development and delivery of high quality anaesthetic services. The ACSA scheme supports departments of anaesthesia to implement the recommendations contained within GPAS. This is achieved through a set of standards, derived from GPAS, against which a department is able to benchmark itself through self-assessment and peer review.
