The ‘virtual’ School of Anaesthesia is based at the KSS Deanery Headquarters, London Bridge.

The School is led by the Head of School, supported by four Training Programme Directors and includes the RCOA College Tutor at each training site, academic, educational and trainee representation. The School is administered by the Medical Workforce Project Officer, Assistant and Administrator.

The School has been structured to ensure training within KSS is delivered in line with the RCOA and the Deanery’s expectations, to quality assure training and to equip medical trainees with the necessary skills to successfully enter higher medical training. The School meets as a group at least four times a year to agree strategic and planning functions, make operational decisions and to ensure the smooth-running of training in the region.  

Each Hospital Trust has an Anaesthetic Local Faculty Group (LFG) for local planning and support of Anaesthetic trainees and this feeds into the overarching Local Academic Board.
