Notes on terminology ❚<br />

The standards listed in The Good Anaesthetist are derived from Good Medical Practice (2006) and<br />

from the work carried out by the JCGP. In Good Medical Practice the terms ‘you must’ and ‘you<br />

should’ are used and the same convention is applied throughout The Good Anaesthetist.<br />

■ ■<br />

‘An anaesthetist must’ – is used for an overriding duty or principle.<br />

‘An anaesthetist should’ – is used when providing an explanation of how that overriding duty<br />

is to be met.<br />

‘An anaesthetist should’ – is also used where a duty or principle will not apply in all situations<br />

or circumstances, or where there are factors outside your control that affect whether you can<br />

comply with the guidance.<br />

‘Ensure’ is used where anaesthetists must do all that is within their control to make sure that the<br />

event takes place.<br />
