Our objectives
We represent the life-changing, life-saving profession of anaesthesia – by supporting, informing and inspiring a worldwide community of over 10,000 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 wellbeing, and act as their champion.
Our world-class conferences, journals and online resources educate and inform, and our respected guidelines continually improve standards of patient safety.
We preserve and learn from the history of anaesthesia. We use that to inform the present, and facilitate vital research and innovation into its future.
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 at the forefront of safer anaesthesia, across the world.
Our activities
We are a leading provider of world-class education through the delivery of conference, seminars, webinars and online education. We provide research funding to further the development of the specialty and enhance patient safety. We aim to promote global access to anaesthesia education by working in partnership with others to build capacity through national and international research initiatives, and through providing funding for anaesthetists to deliver projects and volunteer where required.
The wellbeing of all our members, and those that work within the anaesthesia community, is an integral part of our work here at the Association, and we offer a wide range of services and campaigns to support them throughout their career.
