Anaesthesia covers general, local and regional anaesthesia, pain control and critical care. Anaesthesia is undertaken in a variety of healthcare settings.
The National Reporting and Learning Service (NRLS) is working on a series of initiatives aimed at helping the NHS improve safety for patients, including:
-
Working with the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI) to develop specialty-specific reporting for anaesthesia. The summary evaluation report of the pilot of the anaesthesia e-form is available here.
-
A Safer Anaesthesia Liaison Group has been developed to take forward sharing of data and national learning for anaesthesia
