Anaesthesia

The Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine has established itself as a major centre of excellence in anaesthesia, intensive care and pain medicine.

The department has an outstanding international reputation attracting visiting anaesthetists from all over the world.

Our Consultant Anaesthetists also provide support for our Outpatient pre-admission clinics, as well as taking the lead role in both our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Acute Pain Service.

We have an active research programme that attracts a steady stream of research fellows to the hospital.

The main areas of interest are:

target-controlled intravenous anaesthesia
monitoring depth of anaesthesia
thoracic epidural anaesthesia and pain relief
regional anaesthesia for lower limb surgery
transoesophageal echocardiography – a two dimensional cardiac imaging technique.

These five areas provide the focal point for improving the patient’s journey through the various surgical specialties.
