Macintyre after starting her anaesthetic training in England and completing it in Adelaide, Australia, spent two years working in Seattle, Washington, leaving just as Dr. Brian Ready (the coauthor of this book for the first two editions) was starting his pioneering anaesthesiology-based postoperative pain management service. After returning to Adelaide, she was given the chance to set up the first formal acute pain service (APS) in Australasia.Dr Macintyre was the director of the APS at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia, from the time it was established at the beginning of 1989 until her retirement from clinical practice in July 2020. Since that time, she has continued to write, teach medical students and doctors who are training in anaesthesia and pain medicine, and contribute to projects with the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine as well as to national prescribing guidelines.Dr Jane Quinlan trained in anaesthesia in London before moving to Oxford as a consultant. She led the Inpatient Pain Service in Oxford for 15 years and has developed an app to guide ward staff on acute pain prescribing.
