This course provides the professional qualification you need to work as an Anaesthesia Associate. It covers all components of the UK Royal College of Anaesthetists’ (RCoA) curriculum and General Medical Council (GMC) anaesthesia associate registration assessment (AARA), and includes training in professionalism, life sciences and practical clinical skills.
We focus on developing your clinical skills and knowledge to provide safe anaesthetic care for patients under the supervision of a named consultant anaesthetist. This includes relevant biomedical sciences, and practical anaesthetic skills for example, airway management, spinal anaesthesia, and the conduct of general anaesthesia and sedation.
You will learn how to support patients throughout the entire perioperative journey. This includes learning how to interact with and examine patients, how to take an anaesthetic focused medical history, and how to care for patients in the perioperative period. You will also complete a quality improvement project, learning the fundamentals of data synthesis, analysis, and reporting in an area of clinical practice that interests you.
UCL is collaborating with NHS trusts across the UK. If you are interested in this course, you must apply to a participating trust located most conveniently for you. Please check the NHS jobs website for available placements. If you are selected at interview by a hospital trust, you will then be invited to apply to join the course at UCL. You must be successful at both NHS and UCL selection to be offered a place to study.
