All their medical staff are sourced from this world-renowned teaching Trust. In most cases the doctors used are anaesthetists with at least three years full-time experience in the field. Anaesthetists have the unique skills necessary for the safe transfer of intensive care patients. Specialists in cardiology, emergency medicine or trauma may also be provided where appropriate.
