In this episode I am chatting with Dr Jannicke Mellin-Olsen, Past President of the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiology (WFSA).

She is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. We talk about her path to leadership and what inspired her to become such a strong advocate for patient safety and global health. Warning - you may need a box of tissues!

We also discuss what happened on the last day as WFSA President. You definitely won't be ablt to guess.

The Australian Society of Anaesthetists is a proud supporter of the WFSA. To find out more: https://wfsahq.org/
