About this webinar
This is a joint webinar between ACTACC and the Association of Anaesthetists. If you are a member of ACTACC and not the Association please contact ACTACC for a discount code.
CardioThoracic Anaesthesia and Intensive care can be a challenging environment and profession. The experience gained from managing the complexity of patients, invasive monitoring, airway and regional techniques is readily transferable and beneficial to the practice in other sub-specialities in Anaesthesia and critical care.
The aim of this webinar is to take core topics and learning central to CardioThoracic anaesthesia practice and demonstrate their value when applied more widely in Anaesthesia and critical care and further signpost potential crossover in both pre and post CCT training and education. We hope to welcome a wide and varied audience to this webinar.
