Research
The College firmly supports involvement in academic activity as a key component of anaesthetic training which leads to improvements in patient care
Through the NIAA, the College engages with our colleagues and partners to fund, develop and deliver world-class research in anaesthesia and perioperative care
Research grants and awards associated with the College and our partners. We channel our main research funding activities through the biannual NIAA grant rounds.
