Explanatory notes<br />

Anaesthetists usually function as members of departments and multidisciplinary teams in order to<br />

provide safe and effective care to patients. Developing good relationships with colleagues is important,<br />

as well as understanding and respecting their professionalism, roles and views. Anaesthetists are<br />

commonly leaders of clinical teams and should therefore ensure that ineffective team working does not<br />

compromise patient care. Displaying the behaviours and attitudes of a positive role model is often the<br />

first step in achieving this.<br />
