Feeling stressed?

In healthcare, stress can start to feel like part of the job, making it harder to recognise when it is beginning to affect you. High workloads, clinical responsibility, and the emotional demands of caring for patients can make pressure feel constant and easy to overlook.

We’re sharing resources to support the management of mental strain, starting with the Baker’s Dozen of Mental Toughness. This practical toolkit is designed to support stress management and build resilience in clinical settings. 🩺 🧡

🚨 There's only two weeks until our free webinar on Fibrinogen in major haemorrhage!

Join us on 21 April for a free webinar exploring the growing evidence for fibrinogen concentrates in optimising peri-operative management of acquired fibrinogen deficiency in cardiac surgery, obstetrics, trauma, and liver surgery.
You'll learn about introducing and embedding fibrinogen concentrate into MOH protocols, as well as exploring whether it's time to reposition fibrinogen replacement in trauma, and more!

This webinar is kindly sponsored by Octapharma. Octapharma has supported the creation of the agenda, including proposed speakers and topics, but has had no editorial control over the content. As this webinar is sponsored, we are able to offer it free to everyone.

It's World Health Day!

In the spirit of this year's theme, 'Together in Science', we examine an unusual chapter in the history of anaesthesia, where early misuse and experimentation with new substances helped spark discoveries that shaped modern medicine.

Progress in science often grows from shared observation and curiosity, sometimes leading to unexpected discoveries that go on to transform practice!

🌍️ In anaesthesia, delivering safe, effective care can generate unavoidable waste, from single-use equipment to packaging and pharmaceuticals.

That’s why our Environmental Champions Network was created - a community of clinicians from across the UK and Ireland sharing best practice to make our hospitals more sustainable.

The Association aims to have at least one volunteer from every hospital. Join the movement to shape the future of environmentally friendly anaesthesia and connect with your peers. Find out more on our website or email secretariat@anaesthetists.org for an application form.
