Anaesthetics Staff
Meet the Team
There is a large team of professionals who will be involved in your care when you have an anaesthetic.
Anaesthetists
The department consists of 59 consultants anaesthetists, and 26 specialty doctors . They all have a base at either CGH or GRH but many work across all hospitals in the county.
In addition to permanent staff we also have trainee anaesthetists from the Severn Deanery training programme. All trainees are supervised by Consultants according to their level of competence.
The medical team who will be involved in your anaesthetic include:
- Consultants: specialist doctors who have completed a long specialist training in anaesthesia
- Specialty Doctors: specialty doctors(Staff Grade) are doctors who have chosen to specialse in anaesthetics but have not been through the complete specialist trainee system. More senior specialty doctors (Staff Grade) can become Associate Specialists.
- Specialist Trainees: doctors who have been selected to train in anaesthesia. They have a year number from 1 through to 5 depending on how far through their training they are.
- Ward doctors (F1 and F2): junior doctors who are in their first two years as a doctor and will work with more experienced doctors in theatre.
