About this online seminar
While UK has over 17 physician anaesthesia providers per 100,000 population, most of the countries in the Global South have much less than the recommended minimum of 5/100 000. How do we close that gap? How can policy makers and international community support anaesthesia providers training? What about workforce retention and continuous professional education? There are no easy answers.
During this seminar you will hear from those who have wealth of experience in the field of anaesthesia workforce development and training. Presentations will include an overview from the WHO representatives, local voices from Sierra Leone and Nepal, and current developments in virtual training. The event will culminate in a panel discussion among an international team of surgeons and anaesthetists.
The seminar is for everyone interested in global anaesthesia and surgery, training and education. We welcome participants at any stage of career, from all specialities and backgrounds.
