Hello, I’m Natalie Mincher, the Wales Anaesthetics lead for ACCS training. I’ve been a consultant anaesthetist in Aneurin Bevan UHB since 2019 and work between the Royal Gwent and Grange University Hospital Sites.

Originally from Fareham in Hampshire, I trained at Cardiff University and completed all of my postgraduate training here in Wales. My clinical interests are head and neck surgery and perioperative medicine. I am also the trust lead for bariatrics. My non clinical interests are much more fun and involve keeping bees and being a terrible runner!

In this role I would like to help make all ACCS trainees as much a part if the anaesthetic family as those in core training. As ACCS trainees become a larger proportion of the intake into anaesthetic training it is vital that they are represented well. Furthermore for trainees going on to careers in ITU, emergency medicine and internal medicine; I want to make your journey through your anaesthetic placements as rewarding and useful as it can be, and I look forward to having you all as future multispeciality colleagues.
