Dr Soundararajan, SAS/Specialty Doctor at Scunthorpe General Hospital shares his experience with succinylcholine, a drug that has decreased significantly in usage.
‘Who still uses succinylcholine?’ would be the first thought that comes to your mind on reading the title. But I am sure some of the experienced anaesthetists still have a soft corner and an emotional bond towards this wonderful short-and swift-acting champion.
I take this opportunity to share my experience with succinylcholine, which happened when I was new to the UK and trying to find my feet.
A 16-year-old boy presented to A&E with torsion testis and was posted for urgent surgical repair in the CEPOD theatre. Within the limited time available, I had taken a brief history and nothing was significant in it. He had never been exposed to anaesthesia in the past, and his parents had undergone general anaesthesia in the past but had no issues. He had food two hours before coming to the hospital.
Jono Brüün, our CEO updates you on our governance and introduces you to our three new lay trustees to our board, and tells us more about their areas of expetise.
In previous updates I have written about the changes to our governance which have reshaped our Council and Board of Trustees
Last year the Privy Council approved amendments to the College’s Charter and Ordinances, which enabled us to comply more completely with Charity Commission regulations, manage the College more transparently, and improve our efficiency. As part of our ongoing programme of improvements last summer the College’s governance team circulated a board skills audit to our elected Council members, Trustees and Executive Team. The audit's aim was to identify the skills, experience and knowledge that would most benefit the College over the coming years.
Trustees have responsibilities for the College’s finance and assets, delivery of our charitable objects, developing and implementing College strategy and ensuring legal and regulatory compliance. These are huge responsibilities and having expertise from outside our members’ clinical experience is extremely valuable. Lay trustees are a vital part of the Board of Trustees and directorate boards.
Dr Elliott and Dr Agarwal, our AiT Committee members write about their personal experiences at the end of training and the start of their new consultant roles.
It's been a pleasure working with the Anaesthetists in Training Committee and the Bulletin editorial team, but we will soon be handing over the reins to new representatives as we've moved on to start consultant jobs.
So, for our last training issue of the Bulletin, we thought it would be fitting to write about our personal experiences at the end of training and starting our new roles, along with some insight into how to get through the process smoothly.
