other notes

A consultant anaesthetist is a fully trained doctor with at least seven years of additional special training within anaesthesia, critical care and pain medicine. Anaesthetists form the largest specialty group of doctors within the NHS. As highly trained specialists their role extends beyond anaesthesia for surgery to include pain management and intensive care. Their specialist training also provides them with the essential knowledge and experience to deal with many emergency situations. They are vital members of the resuscitation team.
