We are joined by special guest Dr Rosie Grimes to talk about the ups and downs of being the anaesthetist on-call. Reflections aplenty, as well as some great advice about what to expect when holding the anaesthetic bleep and how to look after yourself when you're on-call.

The Novpod: a beginner's guide to anaesthetics is created, edited, and co-hosted by Dr Eoin Dore and Dr Duncan Kemp. We are two anaesthetic registrars on a mission to help our new anaesthetic colleagues get to know some of the new concepts you will come across in your novice period, hopefully helping to take away any anxiety around starting your time in anaesthetics.

The NovPod is presented by Anaesthesia on Air, in association with the Royal College of Anaesthesia.
