An Anaesthetic Technician works with patients undergoing anaesthesia during medical procedures. You’ll discuss procedures with patients and gather information which may affect their reaction to anaesthesia. Anaesthetic Technicians also maintain equipment and instruments used during the administration of anaesthesia.

Anaesthetic Technicians should have strong personal skills and be able to communicate well with patients. You’ll need to be organised and have excellent attention to detail. Anaesthetic Technicians must be able to follow instructions and maintain correct procedures during their duties.
