1. The Department

We are a large and friendly department and are supportive of developing professional educational needs in anaesthesia. Many of our team members hold roles outside of anaesthetics such as in research and medical education and so there are frequent opportunities to become involved in these areas as well. We also work alongside a large cohort of trainees in anaesthesia.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit the department for an informal tour and discussion.
