The Beginner's Guide to Anaesthetics
A Handbook for Doctors in Training and Allied Professionals
About this book
This practical and accessible guide covers the core knowledge and key concepts required during the first 3 months in anaesthetics. This book prepares the reader for starting work on-call in anaesthesia and builds the foundations for becoming a safe and competent anaesthetist.
The content is comprehensive while also being pitched at a level suited to those new to anaesthesia, with a particular focus on knowledge that is useful in daily practice. Topics are split into digestible daily chunks, so by reading just a small amount each day novice anaesthetists can be confident they will cover everything they need to. Alongside the core content, additional information includes more than 50 'top tips' from consultant anaesthetists, QR codes linking to highly regarded external learning resources, and guidance on meeting portfolio and curriculum requirements.
Trainee anaesthetists and allied health professionals will appreciate the clear writing style and accessible content of this practical resource. With its focus on everything that an anaesthetist needs to know in their first 3 months of training, it will help trainees build both knowledge and confidence in preparation for their on-calls and beyond.
