This is a new half-day course, which is aimed at consultant anaesthetists within NHS Tayside. The course is largely practical based with a tutor ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 so is very much ‘hands on’. Following the practical sessions there will be two interactive lectures. The course will start at 8:30 (registration from 08:15) and conclude at 12:15.
A mixture of animal, cadaveric and mannequin teaching tools are used.
