Dr Jenny Ferry

Dr Jenny Ferry is a Consultant Anaesthetist working in South Wales, UK. Her clinical interests include regional anaesthesia (RA) and acute pain, serving as clinical lead for acute pain at her Health Board.

In 2023, she was elected to the Board of Regional Anaesthesia UK (RA-UK), where she has led the organisation’s work on Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity. Her key achievements include driving gender balance across Approved Courses and RA-UK events, embedding EDI principles into RA-UK events, and establishing a support network to help clinicians with caring responsibilities participate as course faculty.

Jenny is a regular speaker at national conferences, including those hosted by the Association of Anaesthetists, RA-UK, the British Association for Day Surgery and the British Society of Orthopaedic Anaesthetists, where she presents on regional anaesthesia, acute pain, and approaches to medical education. She is part of the team behind FUSIC blocks, a workstream of the Intensive Care Society, aiming to train clinicians to provide regional anaesthesia to intensive care patients across the UK.

She authored the international Research Priority Setting Project in regional anaesthesia—a global collaboration to define future research priorities in the field. She has also co-authored multiple publications on topics including artificial intelligence in regional anaesthesia and minimum standards for ultrasound imaging in RA.

Outside of work, she is a mother to two amazing children. She is a slow runner, and an average boulderer. She enjoys knitting – proving it’s not just block needles that she’s handy with!
