This is a national crisis. There are insufficient posts in the system to train the specialists the NHS needs. Ultimately the patients of the future will suffer as a result. To use the much needed increase in specialist training posts as a negotiating tool is wrong.

I agree with @RCoAPresident
“These ambitions cannot be realised without investment in anaesthetic training places. Patients are paying the price for the shortage of anaesthetists and the 10 Year Workforce Plan must address that."

It was a real privilege to be able to share in this celebration. It was great to spend time recognising the achievements of all those who had recently achieved their Fellowships (FRCA, FFICM & FFPMRCA) in the presence of their family, friends and supporters. @RCoANews @FICMNews
