Abstract
Andrew William Diamond was appointed as a consultant in anaesthesia at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, in 1968. He enjoyed a year working in Denmark before taking up his consultant post in Bristol. He had considered a career in intensive care medicine, but his main interest was the control and management of pain. He was skilled in the use of regional anaesthetic blocks after his experience in Denmark. At the time, regional anaesthesia was uncommon in the UK—very few patients were comfortablewith the idea of being awakeduring their surgery.
