Job description

We are looking for an exceptional individual to join our Board of Trustees to help provide strategic oversight, governance and leadership to the charity’s efforts of uniting and empowering anaesthetists around the world to improve patient care through education and training. 

The charity's vision is universal access to safe anaesthesia worldwide. 

5 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. Surgery and anaesthesia have a fundamental and growing impact on global health outcomes. Surgical intervention could address at least 30% of the global burden of disease, and yet the poorest 33% of people receive just 3.5% of all surgery. Parts of the world where surgery and anaesthesia have assumed lesser importance in healthcare provision, mortality rates are 1,000 times greater than in some high-income countries. In some countries as many as 90% of anaesthetic departments are not equipped to provide safe anaesthesia for children.
