The aim is to stimulate debate on new research, cover controversial topics, or provide a new framework for, or interpretation of, an old problem or current issue, or speculate on the implications of recent research and clinical advances in health care infrastructure concerns at national or international levels. Many of these subjects also raise ethical, legal and financial issues and TACC may include articles on such matters.

The journal's objective is to provide a platform for discussion, analysis and debate of these topics across a diverse, multidisciplinary audience of basic scientists and clinicians, who share the common goal of understanding anaesthesiology, pain, pharmacology, critical care and related subject areas with a view to new clinical practice.

Reviews and Opinion articles form the foundation of each bimonthly issue. Reviews objectively chronicle recent and important developments. Opinion articles provide a forum for debate and hypothesis. The Focus section includes short articles highlighting topical issues and providing comment on recent research papers of particular note. Articles are carefully commissioned, peer-reviewed and edited to provide authoritative, critical and accessible insights.
