Scottish Standing Committee

Supporting Anaesthetists in Scotland

The Scottish Standing Committee (SSC) represents the Association and its members in Scotland. The health political landscape can, at times, be quite different in Scotland from the rest of the UK and since its inception in 1999, the SSC has actively worked on behalf of Scottish members, focusing on matters relevant to our profession within this system. The SSC continues to forge links and representation with the other bodies in Anaesthesia, in Scotland, including the Royal College of Anaesthetists’ Scottish Board, the Scottish Society of Anaesthetists, the Scottish Intensive Care Society and the North British Pain Association. The annual meeting with the CMO Scotland, alongside colleagues from the RCoA, ensures good communication and the provision of a united approach by our specialty to the Scottish Government. The SSC continues to support the Association’s four key strategic priorities through its organisation of educational meetings in Scotland, ongoing involvement in patient safety group activities and in the local promotion of diversity and wellbeing awareness.

The SSC has a vacancy for an elected member to join the committee. If you would like to nominate yourself for the role of elected member on the Scottish Standing Committee, please complete and return your nomination form via email to [email protected] ahead of the deadline of 5pm on Friday 17 January 2025.

Join the Scottish Standing Committee

The Scottish Standing Committee (SSC) of the Association of Anaesthetists (the Association) has two vacancies for elected members to join the committee. Nominees must be full members of the Association, resident in Scotland and in good standing, and should be proposed and seconded by other full members of the Association. The SSC represents over 800 Association members in Scotland. The healthcare political landscape can, at times, be quite different in Scotland to elsewhere in the UK such as in workforce planning, taxation and the very delivery of our health service. If you’d like to get involved and help make a difference, why not consider applying to join the committee.
