This Monothematic ESRA Conference strives to combine state-of-the-art science with high-quality leisure to provide an authoritative and comprehensive update on the role of Obstetric Anaesthesia.
The conference consists of 5 days of lectures covering the most important developments in Obstetric Anaesthesia and finishing at lunchtime with ample time for enjoying the facilities of the resort hotel Quinta de Lago and the charms of the beautiful surroundings.
A look at the faculty list will show that each speaker is a well-recognized international authority on his or her topic. This outstanding faculty will focus on a comprehensive review of current issues in Obstetric Anaesthesia. Each expert is giving 4-8 lectures during the week ! It is rare that these experts are coming together in one place to share with you their expertise.
We look forward to seeing you in beautiful Algarve. This course has a limited number of places (max 125 places) and in previous years it was rapidly sold out ! So book early!
Chair: Marc van de Velde MD, PhD; EDRA

Roads branch off to beaches, coastal towns and inland villages.
Air travel is certainly the most comfortable and fastest way to get to the sun drenched Algarve. Faro airport is only a few hours from most European destinations. Passengers using the airport as a gateway to the Algarve, will find a modern terminal building located only 4 kilometres from downtown Faro.
