Future leaders in anaesthesia

Leadership development programme exclusively for anaesthetists

We are excited to launch Future leaders in anaesthesia in partnership with Bayes Business School! This dynamic new programme is designed for Resident Doctors, SAS Doctors/NCHDs, and early-career Consultants looking to sharpen their leadership skills, drive positive change, and grow their influence within the NHS. Participants will gain practical, people-centred tools, expand their networks, and leave ready to take the next bold step in their leadership journey.

A message from our Education Chair

"As anaesthetists, we are trained to lead every day – in theatres, in critical care, and in the most challenging of clinical environments. But stepping into formal leadership roles requires a different set of skills: the ability to influence, inspire, and drive meaningful change across our teams and services. The Future leaders in anaesthesia programme has been created to give you that step up – a chance to reflect on your own leadership style, learn from experts, and grow alongside peers who share your ambition. This is a unique opportunity to invest in yourself and your future, while strengthening the profession we are all proud to serve. I encourage you to apply, to challenge yourself, and to be part of shaping the next generation of leaders in anaesthesia."
