Anaesthesia, Pain Relief and Sedation
The department is named after the pioneer of paediatric anaesthesia Dr Jackson Rees whose innovations were adopted by anaesthetists world wide.
25 Consultant Anaesthetists, 4 Fellows, and 11-13 Specialist Registrars currently staff the department. The department works closely with the Pain Relief and Sedation Team.
We provide anaesthesia and pain relief for children and young people from birth to adolescence. All surgical specialties (except transplant) and many radiology interventions are catered for. Approximately 18,000 anaesthetic procedures are carried out per year.
The team of pain nurse specialists work from 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday. They help children recovering from surgery, trauma or acute medical conditions as well as the management of sedation withdrawal following prolonged admission to intensive care. They also provide a pain and sedation management service for children undergoing painful/fear-provoking interventions.
The on call anaesthetic team covers the pain relief service out of office hours.
