We are the Association of Anaesthetists

We represent the life-changing, life-saving profession of anaesthesia - by supporting, informing and inspiring a worldwide community of over 11,000 members.

Our work and members span the globe, yet our voice is local and personal. We stay in close contact with our members, look after their day-to-day well-being, and act as their champion. Our world-class conferences, journal and online resources educate and inform; our respected guidelines continually improve standards of patient safety. We preserve and learn from the history of anaesthesia. We use our heritage to inform the present, and facilitate vital research and innovation into the future of anaesthesia.

As an independent organisation, we speak up freely and openly for the interests of anaesthetists and their patients. We influence policy, raise public awareness and are the forefront of safer anaesthesia , across the world.
