38th Annual ESRA Congress 2019

38th Annual ESRA Congress is organized by Kenes Group and will be held from Sep 11 - 14, 2019 at The Euskalduna Conference Centre and Concert Hall, Bilbao, Biscay, Spain.

Target Audience:
ESRA 2019 is targeting all anaesthesiologists, physicians and scientists who are engaged in, or interested in, the techniques of regional anaesthesia for surgery, obstetrics, paediatrics and pain control. Because of the diverse, clinically focused educational offering, participants are able to tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of international clinicians of all levels of experience.

The Scientific Committee is developing a programme in which the interaction between speakers and the audience is of utmost importance. The type of sessions will be refresher course lectures, networking sessions, pro-con debates, panel discussions, luncheon sessions, special workshops including cadaver workshops, and of course free paper and E-Posters. Residents are invited to submit their papers for inclusion in the ESRA Resident Best Free Paper and the ESRA Best Abstract Award competitions.

At ESRA 2019 there will be plenty of time and opportunities for networking, so while enjoying the outstanding scientific programme, take the time also to network with your peers, meet old friends and make new ones in the beautiful setting of Bilbao.

During the Congress, you will have the possibility to register for the first part (written exam) of the Certified EDRA (European Diploma in Regional Anaesthesia And Acute Pain Management) and EDPM (European Diploma of Pain Medicine). For those participants who have already successfully completed the first part of these diplomas, there will be the opportunity to take the second part (practical).
