UK Society for Intravenous Anaesthesia Annual Scientific Meeting

Workshops

The Society is approved by the Royal College of Anaesthetists as a provider of Continuing Education and Professional Development (CEPD). Delegates attending the meeting are eligible for 6 CEPD points, plus 2 if attending a workshop.

Interactive workshops will be held on Thursday morning, led by a number of anaesthetists experienced in the field of intravenous anaesthesia. Workshops are limited to groups of 12-18 delegates, and the workshop registration fees are heavily subsidised due to generous industrial support. Topics will include:

• remifentanil pharmacokinetics
• target controlled infusions
• demonstration of the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of intravenous anaesthesia by computer simulation
• practical aspects of intravenous anaesthesia

The workshops are available to meeting registrants only. Places are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
