Wellbeing: a new perspective
The workshop will provide an approach for integrating wellbeing in your role as an anaesthetist with your life away from the hospital. This will be a learning experience to help you to find your own ways of building your wellbeing.
The workshop will include new perspectives, ideas for 'stepping away from the storm’, the concept of ’transitional pauses’ and ideas about retreats. Most of all, the ideas and discussion will focus on what will help you as an individual.
Dr Jo Hacking has worked as a Consultant in paediatric emergency medicine and now works as a Wellbeing advocate and Retreat organiser.
Jo has experience of running retreats for doctors (including anaesthetists) and other professionals in high stress jobs.

Peri-operative Allergy Workshop
An interactive workshop led by members of the Perioperative Allergy Network (PAN) steering committee.
Perioperative allergic reactions can be difficult to diagnose, with typical signs of allergy often absent and a wide range of differential diagnoses. In an open forum, we will discuss what allergy is and dispel some common allergy myths. Real cases will be presented, sharing the pathway from referral to investigation in the allergy clinic and follow-up advice for future anaesthetics.
Learning objectives:
• Drug allergy: what is allergy and allergy myths
• Guidance on who to refer for allergy investigations
• What happens in perioperative allergy clinics: skin and challenge testing
