title: Supervision of trainee anaesthetists: a survey of opinions and practices.
abstract: This questionnaire survey investigated the different degrees of supervision of trainee anaesthetic senior house officers (SHOs) in hospitals across the United Kingdom, and compared it with past practices as well as with The Royal College of Anaesthetists' recommendations at that time. It is apparent that the duration of intensive supervision of new anaesthetic trainees has increased over the last 25 years. This study assesses these changes in order to evaluate whether or not these reforms have achieved their intended outcomes.
