Anaesthetic Nurse

An Anaesthetic Nurse assists with the administration of anaesthesia during surgical procedures. You might work in hospitals or surgical centres, collaborating closely with anaesthetists and surgeons. Anaesthetic Nurses prepare and monitor patients before, during, and after surgery, ensuring they are comfortable and stable. You’ll also manage anaesthesia equipment and respond to any changes in patients' conditions.

Anaesthetic Nurses play a crucial role in surgical care. You’ll need to be precise and vigilant, with strong technical skills and the ability to work under pressure. You’ll liaise with surgical teams to ensure safe and effective anaesthesia management, contributing significantly to the overall success of surgical procedures.
