Why should I attend this meeting?

• It gives me opportunity to learn and practice blocks which are mostly used in everyday aesthetic clinical practice on live and anatomical models.
• It gives me unique opportunity to train management of acute and/or common complications/side effects of regional anaesthesia techniques in simulation settings – no other workshop offers this possibility!
• Because this workshop offers best value for money education in regional anaesthesia – two days workshop led by several ESRA instructors and examiners.
• It gives me opportunity to meet my fellow colleagues from all over Europe and enjoy wonderful Porto!
