The establishment of the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia was announced in March 2008. Its vision is, with respect to anaesthesia and related specialties, to:

1. improve patient care by promoting the translation of research findings into clinical practice

2. develop and maximise its academic profile within the healthcare profession, NHS, Universities and major research bodies

3. facilitate high profile, influential research

4. facilitate and support training and continuing professional education in academia.

The research agenda is governed by the Institute’s Research Council. The initial funding partners of the Research Council are the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, the Royal College of Anaesthetists, and the journals British Journal of Anaesthesia and Anaesthesia
