Joint Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement Published
In perioperative care, diversity is more than a principle - it is a necessity for excellence. Recognising the need for a more inclusive and diverse culture, the Association of Anaesthetists, the Royal College of Anaesthetists, the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, the Faculty of Pain Medicine and the Centre for Perioperative Care have united to set a new standard - one that ensures everyone feels valued, supported and empowered.
We stand united in our commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture within our organisations and within anaesthesia, critical care, pain medicine and perioperative care. We recognise that our strength lies in our members, and we are dedicated to creating environments where everyone feels safe to be themselves, valued, and empowered to thrive, regardless of their identity or background.
