#AnyAnes & related specialties: PHEM only GMC recognised subspecialty, Pain Medicine now Faculty of @rcoanews.bsky.social, ICM separate CCT. Perioperative Medicine = growing SIA, has @cpoc.bsky.social provides a home with resources partnerships & support for high quality care #OAA25ASM

Providing context @anaesjournal.bsky.social poll found 77% of #AnyAnes respondents felt we should STOP gowning; @oaa-anaes.bsky.social survey 8% of #OBAnes already don’t routinely wear a gown, 79% would stop gowning if supported by guidelines. An overview of the CON position! #OAA25ASM

Multiple good reasons for SIS in #OBAnes and indeed #AnyAnes. Safety and efficiency require communication, coordination and preparedness. #OAA25ASM

Getting ahead of the emotional dog whistle that the word “mandatory” elicits from #OBAnes/ #AnyAnes (or indeed doctors in general), he reminds the audience that a gown is unlikely to get one struck off the roll. #OAA25ASM

Where it started: from John Snow (not @GameOfThrones one) 1953 and birth of #AnyAnes through start of #OBAnes to MBBRACE reports. @OAAinfo first meeting 1969, original preoccupations remain valid today. #OAA25ASM
