Anaesthetists are specialist doctors whose expertise extends far beyond the operating theatre. They play a vital role in patient care and safety before, during and after surgery, as well as in intensive care, resuscitation and the management of critically ill patients.
Their responsibilities also include responding to trauma and cardiac emergencies, accompanying critically ill patients during helicopter or ambulance transfers, providing pain relief during labour and anaesthesia for caesarean sections, and managing acute and chronic pain.
At Gozo General Hospital, anaesthetists are integral members of the multidisciplinary team, working closely with nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Their expertise supports patients throughout their hospital journey, from pre-admission assessment and surgical care to critical care and emergency interventions.
