Advanced Ultrasound-guided Regional Anesthesia Course

31 October, 2018

There are many US Guided interventional pain Conferences ranging from updates, day events and cadaveric courses but very few practical courses to teach and train physicians in Emergency medicine who care for trauma patients. This delays the delivery of essential pain management until expert help is available. We have been successfully running courses, conferences and workshops in association with ICCES (International Council for Critical Emergency Sonography) and India’s largest trauma centre (JPNA Trauma Centre, New Delhi) successfully for the last two years with excellent feedback from the delegates. 

Our courses are designed with the curriculum for ED physicians around the world which delineates clear objectives for higher and advanced interventional pain training. This enables the ED physicians to provide immediate, safe and high quality pain management for trauma patients. The course accreditation from the colleges in UK also enables the physicians to sit higher exams in regional anesthesia and pain management. 

Consolidating on this widespread enthusiasm for UGRA in providing interventional pain management in emergency department is what we are incredibly passionate about. We recognize the importance of creating a safe environment to learn these techniques. We are placed at an advantage as we have the experience in running numerous such courses to cater to a wide range of practitioners. Our group has mentored many anesthesia and ED physicians all over the worls and also have promoted our educational activity through our website www.bapaonline.co.uk
