The meeting will take place at The Millennium Grandstand, Rowley Mile Racecourse, Newmarket, Suffolk. CB8 0TF.

We hope that the meeting will prove attractive to all grades of anaesthetist. Thursday is reserved for lectures covering aspects of the Royal College of Anaesthetists Core Topics Matrix. On Friday, the morning session is assigned to trainee prize presentations – this provides an opportunity for trainees, pre CCT fellows and student doctors within the Eastern region to present research, audit, reviews and interesting cases to a friendly audience.

In addition, there will be an opportunity for trainee poster presentations. Prizes will be awarded to both the best oral and the best poster presentations. £500 and the Harold Youngman Prize Medal is awarded to the winner of the oral presentation prize. If you are a consultant, please help support your trainees with their submission.

The afternoon session will feature further invited speakers covering Core Topics. There will also be a lunchtime “ultrasound for upper limb peripheral nerve blocks” workshop (limited number of places) on Friday.
