Anaesthetic updates
Our three-day hybrid conference will help you stay informed when it comes to the key issues surrounding best anaesthetic practice.
Connect. Learn. Inspire.
Stay ahead of the curve and join us for three days of new ideas in anaesthesia, critical care and pain management. Discover new developments on the horizon from today’s expert specialists and learn how best to combat the growing issues you will face in your anaesthetic practice.
Join us in February to connect with your peers, question the specialty experts, and bring back new ideas that will improve your own practice.
Whether you’re newly qualified or a seasoned consultant, this is your opportunity to:
- Network in person with colleagues from across the UK and beyond
- Share ideas and experiences in a collaborative, friendly setting
- Engage with expert-led lectures covering the latest evidence, practice updates, and policy changes
- Attend online if you can’t make it to London — with all sessions streamed live and available on demand post-conference
And when the day’s learning is done, enjoy everything London has to offer — world-class dining, culture, and entertainment just steps from the venue!
Feedback from our recent Anaesthetic Updates events:
- 'Essential for the general anaesthetist'
- 'I really enjoyed the event. I attended all 3 days and they all had excellent topics and speakers'
- "The clinical updates were all very useful for my current sphere of practice. The non-clinical talks were really enjoyable and thought provoking. Overall a good balance of topics compared to other conferences."
- "The best conference I have ever attended. Very informative and well delivered."
