<p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (LTWP), which was published on 30 June 2023, sets
out an expansion of new and extended roles to increase the breadth of skills within
multidisciplinary teams, better meet the needs of patients, their families and unpaid
carers, and enable more care to be delivered in primary and community settings. The
National Health Service is determined to continue to invest in training opportunities
and the development of career paths for the whole workforce. The LTWP set out that
training places for anaesthesia associates (AAs) will increase to 250 by 2028/29.
This will support our ambition to increase places to 280 a year by 2031/32.</p><p>We
strongly recommend that employers only consider recruiting AAs who are on the AA Managed
Voluntary Register (MVR) which is currently held by the Royal College of Anaesthetists
(RCoA). It enables supervisors and employers to check whether an individual is qualified
and safe to work in the United Kingdom.</p>
