The Beginner's Guide to Anaesthetics: A Handbook for Doctors in Training and Allied Professionals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781032770888)

Connor Brown graduated medicine with honours from the University of Birmingham in 2016. He completed ACCS anaesthetics core training in the Stoke School of Anaesthesia from 2019 to 2023, during which time he attained the Primary FRCA and MRCP qualifications. He has supported trainees through their novice period both by delivering teaching and in his role as teaching coordinator. This book was inspired by his own experience of training and the realisation that most learning resources are designed for those revising for FRCA examinations, with few aimed at novices starting out in anaesthesia.

Alongside clinical anaesthesia, Connor is passionate about NHS systems improvement, with several of his quality improvement projects winning regional and national awards. Outside of work he enjoys good coffee and triathlons - standard interests for an anaesthetist! He lives and works in London.
