"I think the vast majority of our colleagues still think of anesthesia as a task that has to be completed; rather than a system, or anesthesia being part of a holistic picture or whole system. I think that is something that we need to think when we think of the future"

Ravi Mahajan, Former President of The Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK. This talk 'Reflections on Anaesthesia and Perioperative medicine; looking back / looking forward' was the Rod Armstrong Plenary Lecture of (Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine) EBPOM Ireland 2021.
