Anaesthesia Care is a complex specialisation in healthcare and nursing, which deals with the demanding health requirements of acutely or critically ill people of all age groups. The anaesthesia care (male or female) nurse is indispensable in the implementation of evidence-based care and represents a core member of the multi-professional team in the field of Anaesthesia. The further education course equates to the specialised training of anaesthesia care in accordance with the Healthcare and Nursing Law.
