    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • Anaesthesiology

    Background:

    • A previous survey in 1978 indicated understaffing in Australasian anaesthesia departments.
    • Current staffing levels and specialist duties in teaching hospitals require updated assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey current staffing and duties within anaesthesia departments in teaching hospitals.
    • To compare findings with a 1978 preliminary survey regarding specialist staffing.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among anaesthesia departments in teaching hospitals.
    • Data collected focused on staffing levels and the duties of anaesthetists.

    Main Results:

    • The survey confirmed findings from a 1978 survey, indicating two-thirds of departments are understaffed by senior specialists.
    • A high ratio of trainees to senior specialists was observed, posing a future oversupply risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant understaffing of senior anaesthesia specialists persists in teaching hospitals.
    • The current trainee-to-specialist ratio necessitates attention to prevent future specialist oversupply and ensure adequate workforce planning.
