It's always good to hear your thoughts about your membership and the specialty. Especially good to hear your ideas and suggestions in person. Great Let's Talk session today at #Anaesthesia2025.

Thank you to #anaesthesia2025 for letting us showcase QI training and collaboration in Belfast! QI is a core skill for doctors and by coming together to collaborate we can be efficient and effective. See below RCoA Centre for Research & Improvement QIWG's supplementary guidance to help support QI training

Lots of excitement at #Anaesthesia2025 about #NAP8. Alan Macfarlane shares the progress so far. NAP8 will cover central neuraxial blocks, peripheral nerve blocks, local anaesthetic infiltration, periop nerve injury & spinal cord injury - a big topic! ow.ly/f7Nj50VWo5b

My Life My Choice Shaun Picken and Paula Kennedy teach us about Oliver McGowan training. Life expectancy with a learning disability massively reduced and 50% died an avoidable death. This is a horrifying statistic and we all need to work to correct this inequality in care.

It was a pleasure running our GPC Hub workshop Royal College of Anaesthetists #anaesthesia2025. We spoke about the start of the network within South East London and our emulation at Royal Surrey Anaesthesia, Guildford, UK. Our hope is to see further collaboration across the country with new GPC Hubs across all regions.

The anaesthetic national audit projects are some of the most powerful in the UK. We have a sneak peek at #SNAP3, looking at our older surgical patients, their frailty and any delirium experienced. #Anaesthesia2025

The #SNAP3 audit gives insight into frailty & delirium in older surgical patients. At #Anaesthesia2025 Claire Swarbrick highlights higher frailty = higher delirium risk. The solution? Routine frailty screening on patients over 60 before surgery. A small step with big impact!

What is conscientious objection? Speaking at #Anaesthesia2025 Dr Gail Van Norman MD describes it as something "that affects the very core of what your values are" be that elective abortion or a Jehovah's Witness anaesthesiologist who would not give transfusions!
