Registration is now open for the Australasian Symposium on Ultrasound and Regional Anaesthesia, which will take place in Sydney from 10-12 March 2012.
A word from the convenor, Dr Peter Hebbard: "ASURA promises to be an exciting program of regional anaesthesia topics. The application of ultrasound imaging has revolutionised and re-energised the practice of regional anaesthesia and we are fortunate to have an international faculty at the cutting edge of contemporary practice and teaching joining us in Sydney. After an overview morning on Saturday the lecture program is built around four themes; innovation and controversy, safety, practicality and teaching. As well as the lecture program we are continuing the ASURA formula of small group teaching with the addition of master classes and focused discussion groups for those who have progressed beyond the basics."
