Course Overview

A one day face to face symposium and workshops for Anaesthetists of all grades (Consultants, SAS, Trainees), ODP’s, PACU Nurses and other Allied Specialties

"This course is much much better than I expected. I’ve been to a couple of difficult airway management courses and workshops, but this is THE BEST so far. I absolutely loved the ORSIM station. The consultant was incredibly nice and gave amazing tips, it was challenging and so engaging. Well done everyone. Hope I can be a part of this next year as one of the facilitators."

I had a really good day, it was well organised and everyone was so knowledgeable. As an ODP, when going to each station, each person made what they were discussing and explaining relatable to me and my role and explained things in ways that didn't go over my head. I enjoyed the variety of stations and opportunities to see different equipment and have a go at different intubations and the front of neck access.

Entire team was helpful and supportive especially suturing and knot tying was all new to me. Their teaching method was superb. I can happily tie the knot now and it is all because of them.
