Instructors in the field of Regional Anaesthesia (RA) are supported and encouraged by ESRA. Education in RA is part of the ESRA’s main goal of establishing Comfortable Care Everywhere.

This course provides additional educational knowledge, teaching skills and instruction techniques to instructors. ESRA offers the opportunity to develop your educational values in Regional Anaesthesia.

Required qualifications of an RA instructor are defined by ESRA:

1. The RA instructor is a professional with expert knowledge and proficiency in RA.
2. The RA instructor knows and is able to apply basic didactical skills during instructions.

Learning Objectives

This course aims to develop teaching skills of regional anaesthesia instructors. Regional anaesthesia techniques; indications, performance of specific blocks are not primary focus of this course. It is understood that attendees master these techniques on a high level by meeting enrolment criteria to the course.

At the end of this course attendees will have gained a detailed understanding of adult learning styles, teaching styles, the role of the instructor and methods of delivering feedback within the context of regional anaesthesia and pain medicine.

Having completed this course the participant will develop as a proficient instructor with the following characteristics:

• facilitate development of procedural skills relevant to regional anaesthesia and pain medicine in a safe and comfortable environment;
• recognise, understand and adapt to the learners needs;
• assess performance and provide feedback in a constructive and non-confrontational manner;
• facilitate deliberate practice and encourage self-learning and reflection.

We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam. This course has a limited number of places (max 25 places) and in previous years it was rapidly sold out!
