“We know that Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islanders, Māori and to an extent Pasifika, even in Australia and New Zealand, have worse health outcomes, and that is not right, and we as a college are doing everything that we can to address that.” – Dr Sally Ure. #InSafeHands #NAD25 More: bit.ly/43acJqc

With such a diverse discipline, anaesthetists need to have not only clinical expertise but also the ability to communicate effectively, manage anxiety, & build trust to help reassure patients. Join us to celebrate National Anaesthesia Day #NAD25 this Thursday! #insafehands #AnSky bit.ly/42lfpB8

Relief of pain & suffering is central to the practice of anaesthesia. The word anaesthesia comes from two Greek words: "an" meaning "without" and "aesthesis" meaning "sensation". Dr Dilip Kapur is an anaesthetist, pain medicine specialist & @anzca-fpm.bsky.social dean. #insafehands bit.ly/42lfpB8

During my c-sections the anaesthetists talked to me throughout, informing me of progress, checking I was ok, asking about dizziness and nausea, providing ice cubes on sticks (I don’t know why!). They were responsible. Of all the people in that room I can only recall the anaesthetists’ voice & face.
