Communication in Anaesthesia SIG

The Communication in Anaesthesia SIG plans to develop workshops and resources and provide guidance to help improve anaesthetists’ skills in all communication related aspects of their work. This includes patient care (for example, needle-phobic patients), working with surgeons and other health professionals, administrators, and the media.
