European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) Autumn Meeting November 4, 2010

Dear friends of European anaesthesiology,

It is with great pleasure that the ESA announces its first ever Autumn Meeting. It will serve as an annual satellite to the summer Euroanaesthesia congress. The Society’s intention is to extend educational activities to European countries that for practical reasons cannot accommodate meetings of the size of Euroanaesthesia. Hopefully, it will also be more convenient for some members to attend such meetings in central and eastern European cities.

The ESA is aiming for an inexpensive CME* accredited meeting for a limited number of 600 participants. It will be a two-day programme with 36 presentations given by 19 speakers in two parallel sessions. The two learning track profiles are Practice and Foundations, and the 30 minute presentations will cover state-of-the-art topics of current interest.

Notably, among the speakers at the first of these events are the new ESA President, Professor Pelosi (Italy) and the Chairperson of the Scientific Programme Committee (SPC), Professor Pannen (Germany), as well as several chairs and members of the SPC subcommittees. The topics cover patient safety, aspects of perioperative monitoring, evidence-based practice guidelines, new techniques in analgesia, management of massive bleeding, news on pharmacokinetics, advances in intensive care and much more. Training aspects will also be highlighted.

We hope that this new annual meeting will be as well received and successful as Euroanaesthesia, and that we can welcome both trainees and already established anaesthesiologists to this inaugural event in the captivating city of Budapest.
