Anaesthetists are specialist doctors responsible for providing anaesthesia and pain management to patients before, during and after operations and surgical procedures.
The first step towards a career as an anaesthetist is medical school. Undergraduate medical training mostly lasts for five years and medical students normally graduate with a bachelors degree.
