"The Morgan Committee is the group behind the content for events including our conferences. In practice, that means deciding what gets covered, what matters right now, and what’s worth people’s time and study budgets. It’s not just about putting together a programme that looks good. It’s about making sure the sessions are relevant, useful, and sometimes challenging. You’ll be working with others who care about education in anaesthesia and want to keep standards high"
– Dr Tony Thomas, Chair, Morgan Committee
