Collaboration is the name of the game and the John Smith Airway Award 2023

This year, for the third time, the Association of Anaesthetists will host an Airway Webinar dedicated to Dr John Smith (deceased) with three keynote talks focusing on safety in airway management followed by a presentation to the winner of the award.

In putting together this webinar, Professor Klein has consulted with the late Dr Smith’s widow, Professor Fang Gao from Birmingham. His wish, as articulated to her, was for an award to be presented by the Association of Anaesthetists, for the best paper about airway management (research, education and patient safety) published in Anaesthesia from authors from anywhere in the world.
 
The Top Airway paper will be voted on by the Board of the Association and the Editors and Associate Editors and the winner announced at the webinar - the winner will be invited to summarise their work and follow-up planned.
