Introduction to Anaesthesia Course

The course was held on Friday 20 February, providing around 50 new trainees with valuable insight into all aspects of anaesthesia training, including the MyPortfolio system, welfare support, exams, ASA and navigating challenges when things don’t go to plan.  We were fortunate to also have ASA President, Vida Viliunas, join us in person. Thank you to Dr Lahiru Amaratunge, for convening the course, and to all our trainees and consultant presenters who generously volunteer their time to contribute to the program and support our event.
