Dr Mark Thomas
We are deeply saddened to share the news of the death of Dr Mark Thomas, former consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital, who led us as APAGBI President from 2021 to 2023. Mark was a passionate advocate for paediatric anaesthesia and a thoughtful, dedicated leader. His contributions to our specialty and his warmth as a colleague will be profoundly missed. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him.
