Then this Monothematic ESRA Conference could be the answer for you!

The congress consists of 5 days of lectures including 1 day of live ultrasound scanning demonstrations covering the most important developments in acute, chronic and transitional pain management settings. It will be finishing at lunchtime with ample time to enjoy the facilities of the resort hotel and the charms of the beautiful surroundings.

Our faculty members are well-recognised international experts in their field. It is rare that these specialist members from different clinical settings from around the world are coming together in one place to share their expertise with you in a relaxing environment. This outstanding faculty will provide a comprehensive overview of current issues in Pain Management, new developments and the future forward.

Some of the highlights awaiting you are evidence-based approach, transitional pain, how to get trained and certified in pain medicine, pitfalls in the pathophysiology of pain, how to hack in to ANS for pain relief, ERAS, persistent spinal pain, intrathecal drug delivery, cancer pain, US-guided blocks (acute, chronic and cancer) live demonstration and many more.

This 6th ESRA Sunny Autumn Meeting aims at experienced pain specialists looking for refreshing their knowledge and pain residents alike, reviewing before national and international exams.

We look forward to seeing you in beautiful Algarve. This course has a limited number of places and in previous years it has rapidly sold out. So book early!

Getting to the Algarve

The Algarve can be easily reached from anywhere in continental Europe. A superb network of new motorways and dual carriageways allow for trouble free motoring through attractive areas of southern Portugal. Apart from major holiday periods there is not a problem with traffic congestion. The A22, also known as the Via Infante Sagres Spain is close to Lagos. 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.

Travelling by train is also an option, since Portugal is part of the European rail network and can easily be reached from most of the European capitals.

Getting to the Algarve is part of what makes it one of Europe’s most fascinating holiday destinations. Whether you choose to arrive by plane, car, train or bus, you are bound to be received with a warming and welcoming spirit.

Airport Transfer

Faro Airport is the main international airport of the Algarve and southern Portugal.

The Conrad Algarve Hotel  is 20 minutes drive from Faro Airport.
