The Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland represents over 10,000 anaesthetists in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The Anaesthesia Heritage Centre in Portland Place, London is open to specialists and the general public. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9 to 5, but is closed on Wednesday. There is no charge, but appointments are recommended. It comprises a museum with a collection of objects dating back to 1774, the Association's own archives, which date back to 1932, and a reference library. The museum is a member of the London Museums of Health & Medicine.
The Association's motto is “in somno securitas” (safe in sleep). The Association's official journal is Anaesthesia. As part of its commitment to the continuous improvement of the quality and safety of anaesthesia care, in June 2010 the Association signed The Helsinki Declaration for Patient Safety in Anaesthesiology.
