Linkman scheme

Almost all hospitals that provide surgical services for children have appointed Clinical Leads for Paediatric Anaesthesia. The APAGBI is keen to maintain links with all paediatric anaesthetists, particularly those working in non-specialist hospitals. This allows us to disseminate relevant information more effectively, consult more widely on aspects of clinical practice and service models for children’s surgery. APA Linkman

Grants and Awards

Honorary Members
