There is ongoing development to achieve Anaesthesia Clinical Services Accreditation (ACSA). The department participates in PQIP, NELA and NHFD databases, along with NAP and multi-centre research projects.

Both sites benefit from weekly morning (breakfast) and monthly half day governance meetings that ensure ample opportunities for CPD and team building.
