How has the Royal College of Anaethestists (RCoA) evolved over the years and why is perioperative medicine so crucial to its agenda? How has this leadership in perioperative medicine become a force for change and improvement worldwide and what are the common themes that emerge as we take a global perspective on the discipline?

The RCoA's global partnership programme is explained, how can perioperative medicine be part of helping less developed healthcare systems? The considerations are different but the principles remain the same.

The birth of the NHS gave parity of esteem to anaesthetists, the benefits of this are felt by us all in the Western world, could it be argued that this visionary decision might actually help other healthcare systems to evolve more rapidly?

Finally - where is the discipline these days? Leadership and the ability to see the bigger picture are part of it, as is communicating to that wider world with various innovations including this podcast which you, as a listener, are a part of.

Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with their guests Dr Liam Brennan, President of The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) and Professor Paul Myles, Director, Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Alfred Hospital and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

We begin with a question from the audience; 'how do we drive change in our institutions towards enhanced recovery after surgery?' The GIRFT (Getting It Right First Time) project is explained. The Health Foundation is also mentioned.

This edition of TopMedTalk was recorded at The Institute of Sport Exercise and Health (ISEH) live from an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) leadership forum.

The conversation features questioner Paul Hutchings, Consultant Anaesthetist at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, alongside Professor Monty Mythen and his two guests; Dr Simeon West, consultant anaethetist at (University College London Hospitals) UCLH who sits on the board at Regional Anaesthesia UK (RAUK) and Mark Harper Consultant Anaesthetist at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, with a research interest in the prevention of perioperative hypothermia and the use of cold water adaptation for thearaputic purposes.

Trainees with an interest in perioperative medicine (TRIPOM) is an ever growing organisation set to continue the global push for perioperative care. This high energy podcast gives you a taste of the enthusiasm people pick up as they learn more about the value of these ideas. The focus here is on promoting healthy aging across two primary domains: cognitive function and physical ability. Discover how multiple features of aging—including physical and cognitive decline—are strongly associated with the bioenergetic profiles of circulating cells. Could the ability to diagnose mitochondrial health address central challenges in geriatric medicine, such as the need for personalized health care based on an individual's unique physiology and "biological age"? How does this gripping research impact upon our work during the perioperative period? Co-Presented by Rob Schiller MD, Temple University School of Medicine and Anaeshesia, resident at Duke University and Vice-Chair of TRIPOM USA and Bridger Back MD, University of Utah School of Medicine and Anaesthesia resident at Duke University and Chair of TRIPOM USA. This podcast features a talk from Anthony J. Molina, PhD, Associate Professor, Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine. It also contains a contribution from John Whittle, assistant Professor at Duke University Medical Centre and one of the founders of TRIPOM. -- Do you have your ticket to the Dallas Master's Course being organised in March by EBPOM USA yet?
