Dr Elizabeth Combeer works as an anaesthetic consultant at the NHS Frimley Health Foundation Trust and has an unparalleled commitment to teaching and training. She runs the FRCA teaching program at Frimley Park Hospital, Surrey and this has gained such a reputation in the region that trainees will try to coordinate their rotation so that they are at Frimley before their final exam to benefit from her teaching program. Because of her close involvement with trainees preparing for the final exam, she understands better than most the requirements and level of knowledge needed to pass this arduous assessment. Dr Combeer has published widely and is committed to personal and professional excellence.
