Welsh School of Anaesthesia

A programme of post-fellowship teaching days are normally arranged approximately 10 times per year. The Welsh School strongly encourages trainees to contribute to the organisation of at least one teaching day during stage 2/3 training. An interesting and varied programme of topics aims to prepare trainees for their consultant careers. The post fellowship teaching days are coordinated at present by Dr Jo Krawczyk and Dr Matt Irvine. Majority of the days are delivered virtually and will remain so due to popular demand. Airway and regional anaesthesia study days will remain as face to face events. Recordings of past events and upcoming events can be found below.
