2025 Melbourne Winter Anaesthetic Meeting
Join us for the 2025 Melbourne Winter Anaesthetic Meeting 30-31 August 2025.
Overview
On behalf of the Victorian regional committee of ANZCA and the Victorian committee of ASA, we warmly invite all fellows and trainees to ‘chilly’ Melbourne in winter for our Melbourne Winter Anaesthetic Meeting: 45th Annual ANZCA/ASA combined continuing medical education meeting.
Our Saturday meeting presentations will be held in the Arthur Streeton Auditorium at the Sofitel, and this year there will again be a quality assurance component with small group table discussions in the last session. You will need to bring a case to discuss on the day for the QA session and this will attract additional CPD points.
The emergency response workshops and small group discussion being held on the Sunday include obstetric haemorrhage and anaphylaxis. There will be two sessions running for each workshop, thus enabling you to register for up to two of the six workshops on the day.
We hope to see you there.
Dr Adriana Bibbo and Dr Tabara Dione
Co-convenors, ANZCA VRC
