In this episode of Anaesthesia on Air, Dr Ashwini Keshkamat talks with Dr Sarah Thornton and Dr Roger Sharpe to discuss SAS doctors in Educational roles. They speak through common themes, quality improvement, and advice and highlights for SAS members. 

SAS doctors are an integral part of the College. We benefit from the representation of SAS doctors on Council – our elected SAS members are Dr Sunil Kumar and Dr Ashwini Keshkamat. We also have a dedicated SAS Committee that works across the College and with Council to promote all matters relating to doctors working in SAS roles, including education, training, professional development and wellbeing.  

SAS Week is a week-long celebration of Staff Grade, Associate Specialist and Specialty (SAS) doctors which runs from 9-13 October. More than 1 in 5 of the non-trainee anaesthetic workforce are SAS doctors who play an essential role in the provision of anaesthetic services to patients.
