Edinburgh Anaesthesia Research and Education Fund (EAREF)

The Edinburgh Anaesthesia Festival has been running for 33 years and is well known throughout the world by loyal delegates who attend year after year. The meeting is run by the Edinburgh Anaesthesia Research and Education Fund (EAREF), a registered Scottish charity whose main aim is to support anaesthesia and related matters in South East Scotland.

EAREF trustees award around £10,000 in grants each year. Projects funded include small research projects, bursaries to aid study for higher degrees and support for health care workers travelling to developing countries to provide medical care and education.
