Stark figures show impact of shortage of anaesthetists on patients awaiting surgery in the NHS A new report from the Royal College of Anaesthetists warns that more than eight million operations per year will be cancelled or delayed by 2040 unless anaesthetic workforce shortages are addressed.
The RCoA’s The Anaesthetic Workforce: UK State of the Nation Report paints a stark picture of cancelled operations due to a desperate shortage of anaesthetists. While the long-term view is one of eight million cancelled operations each year, the situation today is similarly bleak, with a weary workforce, burnout and staff sickness exacerbated by a 1,400 shortfall of anaesthetists.
