What will the Anaesthesia Practitioner do?
They will perform duties delegated to them by their medical anaesthetic supervisor. These will include pre and post-operative patient assessment and care, maintenance anaesthesia and (under direct supervision) conduct the induction and emergence from anaesthesia. APs will also deputise for anaesthetists in a variety of situations where their airway and venous cannulation skills will assist in patient care and where medically qualified anaesthetists cannot be available.
