I catch up with Professor Tim Cook, of the UK National Audit Projects live at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists' National Scientific Congress (NSC). We discuss his incredible work, his ideas of success and what risk in anaesthesia mean to him.

I also flag a special deal that we are hoping will be ready in time for the end of the year or early 2026.

Professor Cook's talk from the NSC is available to be viewed on demand. If you haven't already registered, you can do so here: https://asansc.com.au/registration/

In this episode:

• The last of my thought bubble talks on how to introduce yourself with confidence and clarity
• Some tips on balancing an academic research career and clinical medicine
• Changing from one medical specialty (e.g. paediatrics) to another (e.g anaesthesia)

I'm chatting with Dr Doug Hacking, paediatrician, anaesthetist, researcher. We are discussing GLP-1 receptor agonists and what they mean for anaesthesia. This is based on his editorial in the September 2025 edition of the scientific journal, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.
