The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has introduced the sedation guidelines in 2013, highlighting areas that needed focus, setting fundamental standards of practice and guides for action. However the uptake of these guidelines has been slow. In February 2021, a new guideline was published, reinforcing certain aspects of the previous guideline and issuing new perspectives in other areas.

In this episode, Andreia Trigo, Martin Lees and Craig Cook talk about implementing safe sedation standards, how to translate guidelines and recommendations to real world practice.
