The region represents an opportunity for professionals seeking roles with genuine impact in a developing private market.
About this role
Anaesthetic practitioners (APs) in UK private hospitals support anaesthetists throughout the perioperative pathway, including preparation of anaesthetic equipment, patient positioning, and assistance during induction and emergence. APs are HCPC-registered operating department practitioners (ODPs) or NMC-registered nurses with anaesthetic training.

What qualifications does an Anaesthetic Practitioner need?

How much does an Anaesthetic Practitioner earn in private practice?
Typically £30,000–£50,000 in private hospitals.
