2026 NSW ACE Winter Meeting
Cardiac complexity is becoming an everyday reality in anaesthesia practice. Across theatres, preop clinics and emergency settings, we’re encountering patients with increasingly intricate cardiac histories, and the pace of change in cardiology means the goalposts never stay still for long. This year’s meeting, “Hearts at the Hilton” is built around that evolving landscape – a chance to pause, recalibrate, and deepen our understanding of the cardiac challenges shaping modern perioperative care.
Saturday 20 June 2025, 8am – 5pm, Hilton Hotel Sydney
Courses
We’re already well into the year, and it’s been busy in the best way – lots of energy, great teamwork, and plenty of support for our trainees across NSW and ACT.
Primary Practice Vivas
Primary season came around fast this year – we saw a really high number of trainees needing vivas, which meant things had to move quickly. Across 4 face-to-face sessions and 1 virtual, we supported 73 trainees, which is no small feat. Big thank you to Royal North Shore, Royal Prince Alfred, St Vincent’s, and Westmead for hosting in this sitting. Also, a special shoutout to Nepean and Wollongong for joining forces to run an outstanding virtual session.
Final Practice Vivas
No slowing down with Finals either. We ran 3 face-to-face sessions (St George, Concord, Liverpool) and a virtual session with John Hunter, supporting 56 trainees across Sydney and ACT (including SIMGs). A huge thanks to everyone involved. We really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these happen.
NSW Trainee Committee
Huge applause to the NSW Trainee Committee, who’ve been doing some great work behind the scenes. They’ve already:
- Run a virtual Primary viva (supporting 16 trainees)
- Run a virtual Final viva (supporting 12 trainees)
- Are gearing up for the Independent Skills Workshop on 2 June
