Doesn’t feel like 5 years already since we had to learn to don PPE, to work in it all day & make it last because there wasn’t enough of it. People have different opinions about what did & didn’t happen. I can only say that in 27 years of practice it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen, every day.

Really important for patients to let their anaesthetist know if they’re taking a GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. As anaesthetists, having this information early on enables us to provide an individualised assessment of the risks and deliver the safest anaesthetic.
