Four hospitals within the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have been reaccredited under the RCoA Anaesthesia Clinical Services Accreditation (ACSA) scheme.

We are pleased to announce that the topic of the RCoA’s 8th National Audit Project (NAP8) will be complications of regional anaesthesia (peripheral blocks and central neuraxial blockade) and other neurological complications of anaesthesia.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Dr Rachel Gibson, whose tragic death in 2022 was the subject of a coroner’s inquest concluded in August 2024.

The first results from the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (NAP7) represent a snapshot of UK anaesthetic/surgical care. They show rising age, rates of obesity and comorbidity in surgical patients requiring anaesthesia.
