Moreover, regional techniques are routinely employed for perioperative pain management for cardiothoracic operations, and fellows will receive hands on practice on performing ultrasound guided nerve blocks for various procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-92f1f250-05c5-11ee-8bb3-afe8a109a3aa gtfy-30 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">The fellow will be expected to also provide teaching for anaesthesia residents, and deliver presentations\/journal review for continuous development purposes, as well as embark on a quality improvement\/audit or research project over the year under supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gutenify-section-92f46350-05c5-11ee-8bb3-afe8a109a3aa gtfy-33 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>What to expect<\/strong><br>Fellows join a team of 5 Consultant Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists, and will occasionally be rostered to non-cardiac lists to facilitate service provision.
