Manager Anaesthectic Support Services Vicki Swaine and Connor Jones

One of RBWH’s newest recruits, Connor Jones, is one of seven new Anaesthetic Healthcare Practitioners who have recently started work at the hospital. Connor is also the proud recipient of the Valter Colledan Student of the Year Award for Diploma Anaesthetic Technology Students.

Due to the expansion of the role scope, RBWH has accepted more Anaesthetic Healthcare Practitioners graduates in 2021 than ever before.

The award recognises the Anaesthetic Healthcare Practitioner profession and how far it has come. The award winner was chosen based on a variety of criteria including theoretical knowledge, practical assessment and teamwork.

“The award is amazing but what is even better is that I’ve chosen to work at RBWH,” Connor said.

“I think it’s the best decision I could have made.”
