APSS-ROBAC 2025: Anaesthesia Patient Safety Symposium Combined With Regional Obesity & Bariatric Anaesthesia Conference

APSS-ROBAC 2025: Anaesthesia Patient Safety Symposium Combined With Regional Obesity & Bariatric Anaesthesia Conference is organized by Kenes Group, Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF), Society of Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC), Malaysian Society of Neuroanaesthesiology and Neurocritical Care (MSNACC), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Singapore Society of Anaesthesiologists (SSA), Sarawak General Hospital Anesthesiology Staff Association / Persatuan Kakitangan Anestesiologi Hospital Umum Sarawak (PEKA-HUS),  The Society of Obesity and Bariatric Anaesthesia, UK (SOBA, UK), International Society for the Perioperative Care of Patients with Obesity (ISPCOP)  and will be held from Jun 20 - 22, 2025 at The Waterfront Hotel & Imperial Hotel Kuching, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Description:
The physical APSS 2025 will continue to deliver general and essential topics related to anaesthesia patient safety with a highlight on ‘Safety and Quality in Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical Care’. The combined meeting will also have a two-day concurrent track focusing on obesity, sleep medicine and bariatric anaesthesia. To our knowledge, ROBAC 2025 is the only conference to be held in the country and possibly in this region dedicated to promoting excellence in the perioperative care of patients with obesity presenting for bariatric and non-bariatric surgeries.

APSS-ROBAC 2025 will bring together global and local leaders and practitioners in their respective fields which will promise a great platform for academic discussion as well as networking. I look forward to your participation in this joint meeting.

The theme of ROBAC 2025 revolves around recent advances in Obesity, Sleep Medicine and Bariatric Anesthesia. We have put together a programme with a nice mix of topics – all contemporary, most cutting edge and some even controversial!

Our goal is to gather the world’s experts in traumatic brain injury, optimal perioperative brain health, stroke and neuro-critical care as well as the leading voices in medication safety, challenges in innovative patient safety, and patient safety culture. These dynamic speakers should provide engaging discussions, guide best practices and invigorate new ways of delivering the best care. We envision an energetic platform to help us forge connections, drive innovation and cement a sustainable patient safety culture across diverse backgrounds and specialties.

About ROBAC 2025
The perioperative care of patients with obesity presenting for bariatric and non-bariatric surgeries is challenging. There is increasing interest among the local and regional fraternity in this subspecialty of anaesthesia. Hence, it is timely to host the inaugural ROBAC 2025 targeting Malaysian and Asia-Pacific audiences which aims to promote excellence in clinical management and education in the care of this subgroup of patients.

APSS combined with ROBAC 2025
Besides general and essential topics related to anaesthesia patient safety, the APSS 2025 will also highlight ‘Safety and Quality in Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical Care’. This combined meeting will have a two-day concurrent track for ROBAC 2025 focusing on obesity, obstructive sleep apnea and bariatric anaesthesia.
