The Specialised Study Units (SSUs) define the further specialised knowledge and skills required for anaesthetic and perioperative management of patients in two specific contexts: paediatric anaesthesia; and obstetric anaesthesia and analgesia.
This guide contains resources intended to aid trainees in developing knowledge and skills specific to paediatric and obstetric patients throughout RGA training.
