S2 Ep2: NovPod, a beginner’s guide to anaesthetics, Episode 2: The first day

Anaesthesia on Air

In this episode of the NovPod, Eoin and Duncan talk you through what a typical day as a novice anaesthetist will be like, throwing in some reflections from our own first days as novices and sharing some survival tips to help you hit the ground running.
The Novpod: a beginner's guide to anaesthetics is created, edited, and co-hosted by Dr Eoin Dore and Dr Duncan Kemp. We are two anaesthetic registrars on a mission to help our new anaesthetic colleagues get to know some of the new concepts you will come across in your novice period, hopefully helping to take away any anxiety around starting your time in anaesthetics.
The NovPod is presented by Anaesthesia on Air, in association with the Royal College of Anaesthesia.
