Maximise your chances of success in your CT1 Anaesthetics interview with the GAS Course.

Anaesthetic training is more competitive than ever before. Applications for CT1 posts have risen year on year, but despite a shortage of consultants projected to reach 11,000 by 2040, the number of training posts has actually fallen in recent years. The rise in competition ratios has meant that in 2023, only 21% of applicants were successful in gaining a CT1 Anaesthetics or ACCS Anaesthetics post.

Support for every stage of your Anaesthetics/ACCS Anaesthetics application.

Our course covers all aspects of your application including the MSRA, your portfolio, and the general and clinical interviews. We also cover ‘hot topics’ to be aware of and provide mock interviews with full written feedback. All our lectures and mock interviews are delivered by high scoring candidates who have recently been successful in either their CT1 or ST4 applications.

Hot topics, handled.

How confident would you feel answering an interview question about anaesthetists as perioperative physicians? The 2022 Health and Care Act? What about Anaesthesia Associates?

We cover these topics plus many more in our ‘Hot Topics’ lecture, newly added for 2023-24, so you will be up to date with the latest developments in anaesthesia.

Test your interview skills.
