Overview

Anaesthesia is a field of medicine that has evolved significantly over the years. Its history dates back to ancient times when various methods, such as alcohol, opium, and mandrake root were used to alleviate pain during surgical procedures. However, these methods were often unreliable and caused adverse effects.

In 1846, the world's first successful public demonstration of ether anaesthesia was conducted by William T.G. Morton in Massachusetts General Hospital, marking the beginning of modern anaesthesia.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
