Fellow feedback:
"Thank you very much for having me at CXH as the airway fellow, it has definitely been useful experience and a pleasure working with you all! Your teaching and support has been much appreciated and I am grateful for the opportunities I had during this fellowship."
"Airway lists - this was unique clinical exposure that I did not gain elsewhere prior to coming to CXH. Managing emergency airway cases after hours. I found it useful working with and discussing cases with the consultants as they have a valuable volume of practice and experience in advanced airway skills. I definitely increased my airway experience and confidence from this fellowship."
