While you were sleeping...
the process of anaesthesia redesigned

Going in to hospital for an operation is a supreme act of trust. A key element in this process is the anaesthetist, whose job it is to sedate the patient and take over all life functions during surgery that could not otherwise be survived.

This brief explores how healthcare, and the role of the anaesthetist in particular, might change in the future and asks participants, from across the disciplines, to explore the opportunities for innovation in this vital process.
