Heading to Glasgow for @rcoanews.bsky.social College Tutors meeting. A great opportunity to share good practice and discuss the challenging head winds we face at the present. College Tutors are without doubt the unsung heroes of anaesthetic training and deserve our thanks the work they do.

Doesn’t feel like 5 years already since we had to learn to don PPE, to work in it all day & make it last because there wasn’t enough of it. People have different opinions about what did & didn’t happen. I can only say that in 27 years of practice it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen, every day.
